Where is the real /home directory?
When I installed Debian, I made a 1 GB /home partition in hda6. The
system works fine but I don't understand why when I look at /home and its
subdirectories,there's nothing that indicates that hda6 is mounted there but
mtab and fstab both show it is there. Likewise, when I look at hda6,
there's
nothing that shows that it is the /home partition.
When I do a mkdir, touch, cp, or mv to a /home subdirectory, the file
does appear
there but nothing shows in hda6 not even a user.. It seems to me that
whatever
is sent to /home should appear in hda6.
Here's my problem, hda6 is a 1 GB partition mounted in /home and it
appears
to remain empty even after I have accumulated a lot of data in /home.
So, what's going on ?
mtab
/dev/hdb5 / ext2 rw,errors=remount-ro,errors=remount-ro 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/hda6 /home ext2 rw 0 0 **********
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/da1 vfat rw 0 0
fstab also shows that hda6 is mounted in /home
fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
