Update:
My home partition was originally in sda2 "/user" and later recreated in sda1 "/home/user" so when things were corrected I saw my old home files, in their proper place within sda2.
Just created the symlink and rebooted, I now have my desktop/user profile/home folder as it was about a month ago.. bizarre
Which is exactly when the filesystem update that required manual intervention was released...
]]>My mtab is not a symlink, I tried using "sudo ln -s /etc/mtab /proc/self/mounts" but I get
failed to create symbolic link `/proc/self/mounts': File exists
Should I try again using the arch-usb?

Commenting "CheckSpace" and running "pacman -Syu" got the update to work. However, I still have the shutdown/reboot errors. Should I mark this as solved and start a seperate thread?
]]>About a week ago, after a different update my system did not start the kde-desktop and I was taken to a shell with a read-only drive. I got around this by configuring fstab with an arch-usb, but it seems like things aren't fully back to the way they were. I've been noticing failures on shutdown/reboot, but the output is too quick for me to post them.
I believe my probelm could be due to either fstab or the initscripts, as I updated my system without reading the news beforehand (a lession learned).
Thanks for any help/advice!
