I am in the scared more back again. OK, let me ask:
- Will /home get formatted on a fresh installation?
As I read your question, you seem to expect the installer to recognize preexisting /home partitions (from a previous installation) and then either reuse such partition as /home for the new installation or at least avoid to delete such partition.
As far as I know, the installer has never done that as part of the automated partitioning proposal.
By default we don't inspect the content of the existing Linux partitions trying to guess their former role (neither to keep them or to reuse them). We just try to make enough space for the new system by resizing or deleting the existing Windows or Linux partitions, that's all we do and, as far as I know, all what we have ever done. There is no specific logic (and has never been, as far as I'm aware) to preserve your pre-existing /home. The existing Linux partitions will be deleted if we need the disk space they are using, no matter if they are a former "/" or a former "/home", "/var" or whatever.
I think that maybe question is related to "import mount points" option that allows to read partitioning and I think it is less aggressive in cleaning. But it is not done automatic. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
