" Could not chdir to home directory..." After pacman updates

Hi, since the 31 jan(there were libjpg,libpng and mkinitcpio updates) I can't update my archlinux because after the reboot I get this error:

" Could not chdir to home directory /home/User: No such file or directory "

I can't find any /dev/sda*, my partition are gone and the only way to fix is to rollback the updates to the 29 jan. I need to update archlinux cause is on a server (OVH).Thanks and please help me.

Does your system have more than one hard disk?  If not, you must have / mounted.  Try /bin/mount without any parameters.  It will tell you where / is.  From that, maybe you can find where /home is.

No it was in raid0. I deleted the other partition and made a new one. Maybe I screwed something.
