Ext4 conversion of /home made system unaware of partition [easy fix]
Just like the title reads. I converted /dev/sda3 (root) and /dev/sda4 (home) to ext4. Didn't have any problems, except desktop won't load since /dev/sda4 seems to be missing. LOL! What would you do to fix this? Thanks!

Did you read the ext4 article in the wiki? There is a necessary step to do or your ext4 partitions will be unreadable.

I think you'd better tell us the steps of what you did, or we'll never guess the problem. (Did you remember to change the type in fstab to ext4?)

Re: Ext4 conversion of /home made system unaware of partition [easy fix]
Followed the wiki exactly. Also did another e2fsck and it didn't find any problems. I think it may be a simple fix...but not sure
edit: I must have read a different wiki or something. Hehe, I think it's the fstab file, I'm so stupid. Thanks!
Yep, confirmed the problem. Deet dee dee.
