I cant mont /home partition

Greetings forum friends,
a few days ago I have trouble accessing my user session.
After turning the machine leaves a message on the top left:
"Press S to ... or M to manually mount"
If I give "S"
out the window to login. After I get this message: "could not update Iceauthority file / home / l / .ICEauthority"
And after that the only alternative is END SESSION. And then returns to the login window and so on.
If I give "M"
I sent to the console as root and in the root directory as well.
Some additional data:
after applying: # nano / etc / fstab
has proved this (among others):
"/ Home was on / dev/sda6 during installation
UUID = 3360 .... / home "
after applying: # fdisk-l
has proved this (among others):
Boot Device ...... id System
/ dev/sda1 * 83 Linux
/ dev/sda2 5 Extended
/ dev/sda5 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/ dev/sda6 83 Linux
It is clear that / home is or was in a partition, but can not be mounted.
I hope some forum member can help me
greetings,
Free

I would first check if the /home partition can be mounted without errors,
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
then I would check the partition with gparted or fsck/e2fsck (just in case)(must be unmounted[umount] before checking).
After that I would compare the UUID from the /etc/fstab with the one of my partition,
and finally I would make myself owner of all the files(and directories) in my home folder (assuming everything worked fine until this point);
sudo chown -R username:username /home/username

I might be wrong, but I think problems of the sort can occur if you've run out of space for the partition. You can easily check this by typing the following command in the shell without quotes:
"df -h"
