Public bug reported:
I have two hard drives. One contains separate partitions for /, /home,
and /swap. I have a separate hard drive where I routinely back up my
/home folder as backup.
Upon installing 10.04 from 9.10 using the upgrade option, the installer
installed / on my back up drive, where I keep my backup of /home. I
would expect that the installer would instead choose my current root
folder for this.
Unfortunately, due to the confusion over what had happened, I have
experienced a serious data loss. This is a serious bug.
