Unfortunately that didn't work
I think it may have been due to the fact that there weere 2 home directories
and when ~I tried to reboot it came up with an error asking me to log in as root
ass there was a problem ( sorry I didn't have a pen to write it down ) and when
i tried to log in it gave another error relating to the home directory and then said
could not update ice something.
Luckily I had renamed the original fstab file reather than overwriting it
here are the 2 fstabs:
original:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=21d6c514-35ce-4014-b7d3-4f78e588d480 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=f100f677-3a96-452b-a0ca-eb3800e099a3 none swap sw 0 0
and second one:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#

UUID=21d6c514-35ce-4014-b7d3-4f78e588d480 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=f100f677-3a96-452b-a0ca-eb3800e099a3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda6 /home ext4 defaults 1 1
I have just checked disks from the application menu and it shows the swap as in use but the old
home as not in use.
Ihave included screenshots from gparted and disk (hopefully the work)
