I did exactly that way, you didn't quote that part of my mail where I
wrote it.
Let me quote now: " I booted into single mode and ran "umount /home"
"
I did it before running e2fsck but it complain about "resource is busy".
I checked it, it wasn't mounted and the contents were not available under
/home.
So, what has captured my partition that prevents fsck?
AFAIK, you should never fsck a mounted fs, umount it first...
There are other ways: rescue mode from fedora dvd, any live

I wanted to do without burning an extra DVD and waiting some hours
while the DVD is downloaded. Thanks anyway.
