[13:51] <WillStewart[m]> Before a new fresh install of 22.04,  I backed up my /home with grsync and several other root level directories. I have a / partition for the os, and a partition for /home. When installing from a live USB, I did not see an option for "install 22.04, keep home files", so I installed with the most likely option (which I did not take a picture of). So now I have a fresh install of 22.04 studio, and empty directories for documents,
[13:51] <WillStewart[m]> pictures, etc. 
[13:51] <WillStewart[m]> I can't tell if my /home partition has been overwritten (it appears to have the same level of 'used' space as it did before), nor do I know on which partition the current empty /home/will directories reside. 
[13:51] <WillStewart[m]> Recommendations on how to proceed?

[15:32] <WillStewart[m]> Update: I opened  Dolphin and looked at the properties for Documents, and it notes 42G of free space, so that means my new empty /home is pointed to the OS partition, not the partition with my previous /home. Does this mean there is a way to redirect to the existing /home partition? From "sudo blkid", the /home partition is;
[15:32] <WillStewart[m]> /dev/nvme0n1p8: UUID="d5e2a823-95ad-4aaa-afd3-6189b17dbbad" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="7a0af9d5-091d-4d37-a95d-abb87d29ea25"

[15:40] <Eickmeyer> WillStewart[m]: I'm not available right now, nor is anyone else here, but if you go to #ubuntu:libera.chat there are people available there. This isn't your only source for help.
[15:49] <WillStewart[m]> Eickmeyer: thanks, is that the normative room now for Ubuntu Studio support?
[15:50] <Eickmeyer> WillStewart[m]: Ubuntu Studio is an official flavor of Ubuntu. #ubuntu supports all flavors of Ubuntu equallly.
[15:51] <Eickmeyer> It's a room that can be used, but normative is not a word I'd use.
[15:52] <Eickmeyer> WillStewart[m]: But pro-tip: don't put your message in too-long of a message, it gets truncated on the IRC side and people get angry.
