Interesting reading, but doesn't seem to be the problem.

Thanks, Nothing.  Tried to recover with a couple of recovery tools,
but home not on a separate partition, so can't unmount and run,
encrypted FS so cant get to it on a live stick.  Got most from backups
and anything missing isn't mission critical.  But frustrating.

Anyway, appreciate the thought.
