Thread: Help with Fstab

unique issue here. (ubuntu 10.10)

there kind of bug has bitten me before causes ubuntu confuse drive partitions during (re)install. have 2 drives. on 1 drive have installed / , /home partitions. have separate drive backup of /home. reason, during reinstall, ubuntu confused actual /home backup of /home on other drive. i dead did not make mistake during install. need editing fstab ubuntu uses actual /home , not backup.

/dev/sda3 = /
/dev/sda2 = /home

dev/sdb1 = /home (backup)

here current fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# use 'blkid -o value -s uuid' print universally unique identifier
# device; may used uuid= more robust way name
# devices works if disks added , removed. see fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / on /dev/sdb3 during installation
uuid=9c88acfc-7f2e-4740-b4be-fc449adcd1c3 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /home on /dev/sdb2 during installation
uuid=841868a3-a027-4f40-9d14-c68fb3d5cf80 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
# swap on /dev/sdb1 during installation
uuid=916aa027-e796-45a9-a358-e4fe5c866c8d none swap sw 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
