FS#649 - Beta 2.6..0 - Destroys all other users on /home
Today I downloaded the iso-hybrid of 2.6.0 and installed it sda5 as /.
When I chose sda8 as /home it during the install I carefully said NOT to format it.
However the install did not pick up the /home directory as planned.
First I couldn’t log in via the graphical screen. So I Ctrl-Alt-F1 into
tty1 & logged in then sudo su to edit /etc/fstab.
What had happened was there were no options chosen for sda8. So I
added “defaults” and rebooted.
Then I found that your install had deleted all the other directories on
sda8 leaving only my elive user (larryel)
Please change your install to NOT erase all the other users on the
chosen /home partition. The logic would seem to be that if a user did
NOT want to format the partition s/he would MOST certainly NOT want the
install to erase all the data on the partition either,
