Files are not shown on mounted partition that is booted from LiveCd

I have installed Arch after Ubuntu and Elementary OS, and after that my grub was messed up, and I was unable to boot again in Elementary OS.
So I decided to backup my files from home partition and to reinstall it.

I used BootRepair LiveCD, mounted /dev/sda3 (elementary partition)
but than when I enter /mnt/home/$USER/ I see only directories, not files!

There are Desktop, Documents.. etc.. but when I enter those folders, it shows no files.
I've tried ls -al, and many other options, tried to copy recursivly folder on some other location, but it would copy only directoryes.

either the files have been deleted, or somehow another device got mounted OVER your original mount point.

Try displaying "/mnt/etc/fstab" for the original (elementary os) mounting information, and find out, from which partition "/home" originally came from.

Then mount this partition to somewhere else, if not already mounted and search from there.

Good luck !

you need to view /mnt/etc/fstab, which is (according to your original post) the place where you mounted the "elementary" partition.
