[TriLUG] External Drive mapping to /home and another (related) issue

[Roger W. Broseus via TriLUG]

Maybe the device "name" was "displaced" by adding another mount point? Maybe a 
second USB drive that would "steal" the dev name?

What do you see when you look with gparted? Be sure to use the top-right 
drop-down to view all devs.
