Subject: I lost 15G from ext4 fsck failures tonight!
Date: Thu, 28 May 2009 21:55:42 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <23774225.post@talk.nabble.com> (raw)
I moved some data off of a 115G ext4 filesystem on an LVM logical volume.
Then I resized the ext4 filesystem. Unfortunately, 15G of the remaining 95G
in data was lost to /lost+found due to repeated fsck errors.
I have also had the problem of ext4 destroying my kde4 configuration files
so that my kde4 desktop would revert back to the defaults occasionally.
I don't see what the benefit of ext4 really is, when data loss doesn't seem
to be a concern among ext4 developers. I would expect that data loss should
be the primary concern.
I am most likely going to move back to ext3 or else to some other stable
filesystem like xfs.
