Hello and Welcome to LinuxQuestions,

Have you tried running fsck on the file system? Also, RHEL is not free so you could also put your money to work and call Red Hat Support.

Kind regards,

Eric

Yes..i tried fsck ,but no luck...any other ways??

Hello,

Where there any errors/messages/fixes when you ran fsck? Can you post the line for /home from your /etc/fstab file?

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi ,

file system is clean after fsck..
the entry for /home is

LABEL=/home1 /home ext3 defaults 1 2

Does the /home1 partition have a valid label? Use e2label or tune2fs to verify.
Have you made any recent changes to the system?

You have to be root to modify /etc/fstab.
