I installed leap 42.2 over 12.3 and imported my partitioning and didn't make
any changes to it. I waited for 13.3 which never happened and this was my best
opportunity to move on.

/home was mapped to a separate disk with nothing else on it. It actually
installed to the root of what I call my system disk.

This caused a fair bit of confusion as all appeared ok when the system was up
and running.

In my case the correct place for /home is on a raid 1 array but I wonder if the
 same thing could happen if some one mapped it to an ordinary disk.

I did notice that the install showed that it wouldn't be formatting  /home but
thought little of that because it would be formatting my system disk and
assumed it followed the content of fstab or  what ever.

In my case the raid was degraded and running on one disk but I don't see why
that should prevent an install. It would be nice if it told me but formatting
and re creation of the raid or just one disk and a warning would be a better
option.

Other aspects of the import such as swap which was on yet another disk were ok.
Just /home had problems.
