The installer consumes a block device and overwrites the contents of it as
if you were doing a `dd` of the provided disk image we give you. If you want
to save the contents of your home partition I would suggest you copy the data
off.
Of course there is a more complicated scenario where you've got your /home on a
completely separate disk. In that case it might work, but I doubt you have it set
up that way.
I was thinking using Btrfs file system with subvolumes like /home.
It seems this is a way to keep data from Fedora atomic.
Any advice?
Dusty
