i have a virtualmin server for a friend to host and admin some personal sites.
since i don’t want to give him the root pass, i created a user and gave him sudo access.
all starts with apache and dovecot failure
Mar 10 15:02:20 vh6c.ezhellas.com apachectl[60528]: AH00112: Warning: DocumentRoot [/home/vh6c/public_html] does not exist

Mar 10 15:02:20 vh6c.ezhellas.com apachectl[60525]: Action ‘start’ failed.
and when i see the /home directory, i see something like this!
I may be a bit late but the screenshot in your first post seem to show that somehow your root directory got copied or moved to your home directory. I’m not sure if it would qualify as filesystem corruption but rather a mistake which could have been as simple as omitting a . from the command #sudo cp -r ./ /home . If your friend has sudo he could have done this by mistake.
If your friend is not able to host his own full virtualmin server, I’m not sure giving him sudo permissions is a good idea. I never had the need for it, but I think virtualmin has a very simple way to check who did what, provided that virtualmin still works after this happened. Check recent logins for recorded actions
