When I see from mandriva,i click on the home icon on my desktop and when I
see from knoppix,i click on the home partition (hda6),I don't think that's
abnormal. ;)


Easwar, see my reply to your earlier mail. Data doesn't get
lost/overwritten randomly.. it is mostly pebkac.


What's pebkac?It was not lost/overwritten,it was not visible within Mandriva
ie it had a physical existence but was not visible within Mandriva but
visible from Konsole of Knoppix live cd.

pebkac: "Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair", this IMO is the reason for most lost/overwritten data..

Read my previous mail again..

An empty directory with a lost+found is generally seen for an empty partition.. perhaps the /home that you see from mandriva and the one you see from knoppix are different..

Compare the output of the "mount" and "df -h" command.. in both cases.
