/home partition not mounting?

My home partition doesn't seem to be mounting. fsck says filesystem is clean when I look at gparted my /home is a lighter gray for some reason. My /home is suppose to be 115GB but thunar is saying that it is 20GB which is what my / partition is. my fstab looks like this:

# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0


#/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom   auto   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
#/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd   auto   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/sda5    /boot     ext3    defaults                            0 2
/dev/sda6    swap    swap  defaults                                   0 0
/dev/sda7    /        jfs        defaults,noauto,noatime,nodiratime        0 1
/dev/sda8    /home    jfs    defaults,noauto,noatime,nodiratime    0 2

I know it is probably something stupid. I am missing something

Thanks

Your home partition isn't being automatically mounted - that's what the 'noauto' line is under fstab. The line should look like:

/dev/sda8    /home    jfs    defaults,noatime,nodiratime    0 2

I am such an idiot. I was staring at that for awhile thinking is that right, but for some reason I thought it was.

We all get 'word blindness' now and then

While you are at it. remove the noauto option from root (/). Here is also a short introduction to fstab: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html
