    Thumbs up move home directory

    When I installed my Distro (Debian) i put the /home /directory on secondary partion in a different device /dev/hdb5.
    Due some errors on the fs of this partition, I moved the directory on /dev/hda1 , and i removed this line from fstab .

    Code:
    /dev/hdb5      /home     ...........
    Everything works with home directory but at the startup the system still ask me to run fsck an the /dev/hdb partition because there are some error with home directory even if i do not mount the /dev/hdb device.

    What i can do except disable the fsck or formatting the partition??

    If you've moved the data away to somewhere else, then what is wrong with wiping the broken partition? If the filesystem is corrupted, then removing that partition and replacing with a working one is a much better approach, isn't it? You'll get no more griping from your Debian machine about dodgy filesystems after you've finished it.

    I reformatted my partition and everything works fine.
    Running cfdisk i noticed thet the /dev/hdb5 patrtition was still labeled as /home that's why the system still worried to run fsck on it at the startup..
