In a Debian-based distro (Ubuntu) I have had a corruption of my /home

have a backup from 4 weeks ago, as I backup the first of every month,

interested in recovering the data.
A corrupted /home should not keep you from booting. You may need to go
single-user or init=/bin/sh but it should boot.
Probably should have backed up more recently. It sounds like you made
things worse with the YYY.
Good luck.
Doug.
Maybe something additional was corrupted, bu I only remember seeing
references to sda4, which is /home. Any idea how to get the data back?

Hi Dotan,
So, when you boot up and get a prompt, I take it that /home is indeed
being mounted? If so, one thing you might want to do, is look in
/home/lost+found , in there you might be able to find your files, but they
won't be named the same though. If they are there, they will be named
numerically..
