Hello Brian,

I am far away from home, so I cannot answer quickly.

Indeed it was odd to revert to /dev notation but I used it to explore 
what happened (remember that I was in a 'critical' situation where 
nothing was working, bad partitions, bad swap, no /home..., and at that 
moment I did not know vol_id).

Mounting by hand  /dev/sda2 or /dev/sdb2  to /home was a quick way to 
verify that the problems were linked to the identification of the drives.

Have a nice day,

Alain

  some say it rises in the west.
  The truth lies probably somewhere in between.
