LinuxQuestions.org - fsck fails with dual boot sharing /home

Hi,

I am trying to set up a dual boot system with Ubuntu and 64 studio on different partitions (the / directory), while they share the some /home directory. I ran into a few minor problems doing this, and one major one.

When Ubuntu tries to do its fsck check, it cannot find a UUID it is looking for and fails miserably. It does report that details are in /var/log/fsck/checkfs, which is here:

Code:

Here is my fstab:

Code:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

/dev/sda2 exists, and it my /home that I am operating both Ubuntu and 64 studio from. My guess is 64 studio adjusted the UUID that fsck is looking for..

It seems to be risky business just changing system files in 64 studio, so I was wondering what other people would suggest doing.
