I've seen a file system mounted over the top of /home, which looks like /home was wiped out but actually covered up.

Unless you've somehow failed to spot a missing disk, then it's hard to believe that this could be caused by anything other than user/administrator error.

Subject: LPAR's
Hi all,
We have Regatta 670 running four LPAR's on AIX 5.1 ( we are pushing the customer to go to 5.2 ) running TSM. Last week all of a sudden all the users home directories were wiped clean. We had to restore from previous backup and everything came back on.
First it looked like the application ( DB2) must have kicked in some script which must have done it, but the application support have come back saying nothing is changed on the system and same scripts have been running and have ran after that with out any issues.
We sent the "snap" to IBM and nothing useful have come from there either. Has any one experienced such a weird problem and is there is pointer which I can start looking at.
