Neither do I Curt. Perhaps both wheezy installs shared the /home
directory. Thats the best theory I can float.
If not, the least she should have been doing is syncing the two /home's
nightly. But we'll never know without the /etc/fstab from the partition
she blew away.
And its yet another argument in favor of unplugging that disk with its
valuable data on it, and installing stretch on a fresh drive. That way
you've always got a path backwards, loseing none of ones hard work.
Debian may be calling stretch "stable" but its not yet up to my stds.
When an uptime report says 6+ months, its getting close. Jessie has done
quite close to that, running on a pi-3b.
