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. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/I-lost-15G-from-ext4-fsck-failures-tonight%21-tp23774225p23774225.html Sent from the linux-ext4 mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
