Start with the mount command with no parameters:

mount
Quote:
/dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw)
Look for the (rw) on the same line with the partition that has your affected /home directories. Mine happens to be the same one as /, but on another computer my /home/username is its own partition.

For more details you can try these:
Quote:
dmesg|grep hda1
cat /var/log/syslog|less
cat /var/log/messages|less
You can replace hda1 with any partition name to get its details.

Good luck

My home directory is on a seperate partition. Is there a way to re-format that partition and re-setup my account.

I had the same problem on Stux, after my little daughter stopped the computer from the on/off button, without normal shutdown...
I had to reinstall the system... but it was easy on stux, it kept all the files intact.
In my case there was no .ICEauthority whatsoever.
Hope it helps.

Dan
