the sda2 /home is corruoted and it changed /home partitiion to UNKNOWN 
and it won't let me change the label back to /home

what does "mount /dev/sda /home" say in "dmesg"`

I have tried to use fedora and Gparted with no luck

you should not play around before
knowing what problem the drive has

if it is a physical problem google for "ddrescue"

There are some important data files  I must save off of sda2

what about BACKUPS?

ff your data is important backups exists
if your data is not important it does not matter

why do people still need to learn it the hard way?

The home partition is on sda2



# mount -t ext4 /dev/sda2 /home
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so
 
 
 dmesg:
 
 927.983169] EXT4-fs (sda2): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem



This computer is a friend of mine and after this I did convince him about a backup external drive.

"why do people still need to learn it the hard way?"

Because they know better than you until they have a crash,then they listen and Blame the problem on you.
