Hi,
I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04. I had / mounted on a ext4 partition and /home on a btrfs partition. I choose to format and reinstall over /, but keep /home on my old btrfs partition without formatting it.
However, everything on /home seems to be lost now. I have a subvolume called @home which looks like a brand new /home directory and that seems to be all.
btrfs filesystem show tells that there's still 47 GB used in the partition. Is the old data lost? Is there anyway I can recover it?
I did this before with /home mounted on a ext4 partition instead of btrfs, and no data was lost.
Thanks!
