Hi and Welcome !

We need more info. Did you edit any config or install/uninstall any package? Is Debian booting up? Post the output of fdisk -l command and contents of /etc/fstab file. If Debian is not booting up, You can use any LiveCD.

hi, thanks for the response.


No software has been installed, the server was left running one evening and the next day ......

Everything seems correct here. You have LVM and it was created during installation only. Are sure that it was /dev/home earlier? Its very tricky to create LVM and assign new mount points after installation. No OS can do it automatically atleast.
