As "root".
Use "vi" and edit/correct /etc/fstab to show your /dev/sda6 partition
and its mount point.
Then make sure that mount point exist. Once you have the mount point
(aka directory).
move the contents of the old directory to the new one - if needed.
Then once all of that is done
Reboot
Follow the line in fstab so that your line looks some like the others
for the drive
Downside - there can be links that end up broken.
Check "man fstab"
