Is/was the disk backing your home partition unmounted?
Comment 2 twinshadows404 2020-11-13 16:21:58 UTC
No, it's a Windows partition which is unmounted.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2020-11-13 17:07:01 UTC
Ah, I think I see the issue.

The error message is semi-correct in that it can't mount the requested partition because you didn't give it permission. However the name is wrong; it should be telling you that this applies to the disk in question, not /home.

Yes, I'm sorrry, I'm not a well versed in naming things.
