During a custom installation of elementary os I had planned on
installing over my current Ubuntu Gnome install. (I have a separate root
and home partition) I had selected my old root to become the new root,
and to be formatted with the check box and my /home to stay /home and
NOT be formatted. The install went as normal but I was greeted with a
completely formatted /home partition. The installer had stated only root
and swap would be formatted, and NOT home. Thankfully I had a backup,
but I did lose two weeks worth of data.
To see if this was just something normal with the installer I added
files to the new /home and then installed over elementary Loki with
Ubuntu using the same steps. My files persisted.
I'm new to bug reporting so my apologies if I formatted this
incorrectly.
