No root

I can boot my system, but I cannot detect my / partition.

df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
none            471M  684K  470M   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1        99M   34M   61M  36% /boot
/dev/sda4       284G  180G   89G  67% /home

What can it be? From time to time I have problem due space missing.

Re: No root

Output of blkid and mount? I don't think its possible to boot without a root partition.

In other words, mtab isn't always written to properly because you're out of disk. I suggest you symlink /etc/mtab to /proc/self/mounts and figure out how to keep yourself from running out of disk.

Re: No root

I've cleared my root, but there is no changes.

Re: No root

By the way, there is no swap, maybe is it HDD corrupt?
