Description of problem: Installed fedora 20 alpha 4. My PC is fedora 19 and /home is a standalone ext4 standard partition. I delete /boot, swap and /, and recreate these 3 partitions. swap and / is LVM. the previous partition sda3 is still mounted to /home, there is old data there. Confirmed that in /home parameters the reformat option is unselected. After pressed done, there isn't format prompt of sda3 partition. But after bootup, i even created a user with a different name, I found the old data gone in /home. I expected they are remained. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fedora 20 alpha 4 live ISO created USB image, select install to HDD after launch. How reproducible: tried twice, first time created the first user with the same name; second, created a user with a different name.
false alarm. The partition is still there, fedora 20 doesn't munt that partition, and instead created a new /home directory. I have to manually modify /etc/fstab to mount the partition. While I think fedora 20 should mount that /home dir either
If you want the old/existing filesystem to be mounted as part of the new system you have to tell us the mountpoint.
