Has my disk been stolen?
by keirvt from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4XPQX)
I am running Ubuntu on my work computer. (Del)
Returning to work after a break the computer failed to boot but dropped to a root maintenance prompt. The operating system appeared to be okay but my home directory was missing. The fstab indicates that my home directory should be in /data but the drive seems to be gone!
The fstab looks like so
Code:# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda2 during installation
UUID=1d6ef032-dd85-4cfa-ab9f-43a239fe407c / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /boot/efi was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=7AB8-0E32 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1
/swapfile none swap sw 0 0
UUID="3872c247-6800-4c78-8387-adf4f0ea97b0" /data ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1That last line should mount the /data partition where my home directory should be.
The blkid command shows no disk with the /data UUID
Its as if the disk with that UUID has been removed.
Is there a way to get the disk brand or manufacturer from the UUID?
Teh disk might be SSID is there a way to tell?
I wouldn't mind getting my files back. I find it hard to accept someone removed some parts.
