df does not show my home partition
When I type in df -h, I get the free space in all my partitions, except for /home (it does not show on the list). No error messages.
My fstab looks fine. This is the first time I see myself unable to run a quick check of my home space. The "devices" tool on the panel, which has the same purpose, is also blind to my ;home partition. All the partitions were formatted as ext3, while my home partition is jfs. Is that maybe the reason why I can't get to see the free space on my partition? How can I check my free space in this case? |
what does you fstab look like?

I've only briefly played with Zenwalk but I do not believe it supports jfs. AFAIK ext2/3, xfs and reiserfs are supported. Was this an existing parititon or was it created when you installed Zenwalk?
In addition to posting your fstab include how your drive(s) are partitioned via the fdisk command. fdisk -l (that is a small L) |
Thanks for the answers.

How can I know if I have to compile the kernel with jfs support? |

Now I see my mistake. Since Slack supports jfs, I assumed that the current Zenwalk does it too. I should have been more careful.

Might pay to come up in single user and copy the /home before logging the user on. |
Now I'm getting the picture. Thank you all for your help.
I'll recompile and post about it, for the records. |
I still can't mount it with the new kernel!!
I recompiled the 2.6.22.9 kernel and chose Y (not as module) on jfs on "Filesystems".
I also installed jfsutils. However, after mount -t jfs /dev/sda10 /mnt/hello Quote:

What am I missing here? |
I recompiled several times, either setting the jfs support as a module or as part of the kernel. Every time, it gave me the error messages shown above. Maybe I made a mistake at some point. I'll eventually figure it out. In the meantime, I installed a regular kernel from Slack, with support for jfs already. It's working fine.
