/home missing

[maxd]

I recently saw that my meteohub stopped updating to my FTP server and when I checked I was greeted with

Error file open /home/meteohub/meteohub.conf
Demo Version has timed out. You need an activation code for further operation

dmesg is full with stuff like this:

ls -a /home/ shows nothing at all.

Any suggestions on how to proceed. Complete reinstall? New USB stick?

yep, USB stick failure. New setup required.

For the record: it was a 4 GB transcend JetFlas stick
(the egg shaped version with a translucent middle part like http://is.gd/CrCr#)
