Lost my home files with vivid alpha2

[Fintan]

I ran the live version of vivid alpha 2 from a usb. The desktop never loaded so I had to a hard shutdown. I did nothing else.

Booting into my default desktop, I noticed that all my non-hidden dirs were gone.

Odd. I hope you're not using the PC right now - better chance of recovery if you leave it alone. Do you have another bootable install or USD/CD ?

Details on the system? Filesystem type, partitioning scheme, etc...

[Fintan]

I had a backup of my /home and 99% of my data is on a separate partition anyway. But yes it is strange and I have seen this one.

No, no other live cd/USB here. Am on the road with this machine.

filesystem ist ext4, system is kubuntu 14.10 and OS, /home, /data/media, etc are on separate partitions.

So you link to the other partitions from home and its these partitions that are gone or just the folders on these partitions?

[Fintan]

No, all partitions are setarate and not linked in any way. I should have been more specific, sorry.

Actually it is not even /home that was affected but /home/user1.

This is user for my default installation. /home/user2 was not affected. Strange stuff.
