On one of my system I have in fstab:
/dev/sda4		/home		ext4		noatime		0 1
and /home is mounted by default 

On my new installation, I have in my fstab:
/dev/sda5		/home		ext4		noatime		0 1

but on new installation /home doesn't mount by default, why?

On new installation, I created a user without "-m" 
useradd  -G users,wheel,audio -s /bin/bash thelma

added to fstab: 
/dev/sda5		/home		ext4		noatime		0 1

but it doesn't mount by default.
xfce4 created new entry in /home  /thelma
so I deleted the entry /thelma but manual mounting:  mount /dev/sda5 /home
does not create directory /thelma manually under /home

When I mount manually /dev/sda5  /home all data is there but but trying login as user "X" gets a black screen now.
How to get back "X"

When I ssh and try to start it manually I get:
Fatal server error:
(EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 8 (Permission denied)

Spelling :-/
It should be:
dev/sda5		/home		ext4		defaults		0 1

this line is missing a leading /, it should be the full path to the device:

/dev/sda5 ...

1. You'd better use UUID instead of /dev/path
2. check your origin  ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs  and make dirs in you new

What does syslog say? Is it even trying to mount, or trying and failing?

Your user directory won't be created automatically when mounting.
/home/thelma has to exist and be owned by the correct user. Permission
errors could be caused by your recreating /home/thelma as root and not
changing ownership.
