Subject: OT: home directory lost. Hi all,
Excuse me for this off-topic post. I know this is not a place devoted for this kind of problems, but after reading various mailing in MacOSX world for 3 years, I am quite confident I will find here the more relevant answers, and above all, I understand the langage used here. I have lost everything in my home directory on a PBG4, 10.2.8 All other directories, including other users are unchanged. I guess that what happend is very close to what's is described in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107854 Some app (I think about a Palm sync soft I was precisely using when things happened) has probably tried to create a new file with the name my home directory had: /Users/simon . Without asking permission, since I am the owner of it... and admin of the computer... Now, /Users/simon is empty, both from Finder, and from Terminal with ls. Only /Users/simon and previous users folders are visible (no new stuff or renamed folder...) But df tells me files are still here. I hope this is true (still 82% occupied). The laptop is now sleeping. I hope the situation is stable (I hope df results are not because of a cache or buffer issue). Can somebody give me an advise to help me recover 3 years of work and data ? (Because of course, I was that much confident I had no backup...)
