dnf upgrade to Fedora 35 using --downloaddir just wiped out my entire home dir... !
So... went to do an upgrade to Fedora 35 and found that I was lacking room for the downloads. I have /home set up on a separate drive, so I did the following:
dnf system-upgrade download --downloaddir=/home --releasever=35
The upgrade went well, except when I rebooted into F35 I couldn't log into my home directory. So I rebooted and logged into a console session. When I did, I got an error message stating that /home/<me> was missing. ls /home showed me that all my home directories are missing.
I'm guessing that dnf downloaded all the packages for the upgrade to /home and then did a rm -rf * on them, taking out my home directories in the process. Can someone confirm this ?
Any chance I can recover the files ?
I am beyond angry that this happened. I've been using Fedora forever. I'm sure I've used --downloaddir before without this happening.
