Installed Karmic with ext4 on a new PC today. Installed FGLRX afterwards. All of a sudden the PC froze completely. No mouse-movement, no keyboard. Hard reset. After reboot lots of configuration files that were recently changed had zero length. The system became unusable due to this (lots of error messages in dpkg etc). Installed again on ext3. No problems ever since. I wonder why this is installed by default as Ubuntu is supposed to be a user-friendly distro. Is it really necessary to squeeze out the last bit of extra performance for the sake of data security? This is certainly not desired for a desktop system. At least an explicit warning that this could happen should appear during installation. -- Ext4 data loss https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317781 You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs, which is subscribed to ecryptfs-utils in ubuntu. Status in “ecryptfs-utils” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “ecryptfs-utils” source package in Jaunty: Invalid Status in “linux” source package in Jaunty: Fix Released Bug description: I recently installed Kubuntu Jaunty on a new drive, using Ext4 for all my data. The first time i had this problem was a few days ago when after a power loss ktimetracker's config file was replaced by a 0 byte version . No idea if anything else was affected.. I just noticed ktimetracker right away. Today, I was experimenting with some BIOS settings that made the system crash right after loading the desktop. After a clean reboot pretty much any file written to by any application (during the previous boot) was 0 bytes. For example Plasma and some of the KDE core config files were reset. Also some of my MySQL databases were killed... My EXT4 partitions all use the default settings with no performance tweaks. Barriers on, extents on, ordered data mode.. I used Ext3 for 2 years and I never had any problems after power losses or system crashes. Jaunty has all the recent updates except for the kernel that i don't upgrade because of bug #315006 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: linux-image-2.6.28-4-generic 2.6.28-4.6 ProcCmdLine: root=UUID=81942248-db70-46ef-97df-836006aad399 ro rootfstype=ext4 vga=791 all_generic_ide elevator=anticipatory ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE= LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.28-4.6-generic SourcePackage: linux
