That's right.  It's a separate data partition than can be shared by whatever 
Linux versions I have installed on other partitions.  Right now I have Kubuntu 
14.04 and 16.04 installed and I can boot either and use the same /DATA 
partition. It makes it possible to alternate different versions or even 
different distributions.  Or if you want to upgrade rather than install from 
scratch, you can clone a partition and upgrade the clone while preserving the 
original.

I finally found the answer to my problem.  I had the wrong UUID for the DATA 
partition in fstab.  I don't know how that could have happened, but now it's 
fixed.

Thanks to all who responded.
