For some reason, Quiche's partition table got screwed up and it
couldn't find the logical partitions that I had separated sda4 (an
extended partition) in to. I think this might have been related to a
failed attempt to use a swap partition or something stupid like that.
Anyway, I reformatted the partition and restored the contents from
backups. The contents are: /usr/athena, /usr/athena/src, and /home.
If you made any changes to these files in the past week or so (since
we installed Slackware), the files were lost. I apologize for the
inconvenience.
By the way, I changed the partition table - now, sda4 is not
subdivided into logical partitions, it's just one big partition
mounted as /usr/athena with /home symlinked to /usr/athena/home. It
seems somehow safer this way.
