[opensuse] SuSE removes files
Hi, Pleased to be here. I'm a SuSE Linux user since 1996-97, even a SuSE reseller from 1998 to 2001, and I've never found a problem like this, never, even in cases when I have done many "bad things" with it: Konqueror bookmarks disapeears from time to time; a html file created by myself with all links visited every day disappears from time to time; several gigs of jpg and video files disappeared; and last I've discovered this morning all my Tellico databases disappeared !!! That's incredible! I assure you I've done nothing so that this thing happens. My question is, what's wrong with SuSE now? I'm using OpenSuSE 10.2, on x86_64 architecture; ext3 filesystem; KDE and GNOME; kernel 2.6.20 from repositories. I don't know what to do, but if this is the behaviour of SuSE now, I'll completely remove it, and install another distro o even change to BSD. Thanks in advance, and I hope my poor English would be explicit enough to understand this embarrasing thing.

Just a comment, I have been using SuSE for quite a while, and I have
never experienced a loss of data that I could blame on Linux.
Have you checked the lost+found directories in each of your file
systems. I am currently using 10.1 on my desktop and 10.2 on my 64-bit
laptop.
Can you elborate a bit more of how the files were lost:
1. Was it during an install?
2. Is it possible that your system was hacked?
You really need to look at your logs to try to find out why things were
deleted because I don't think the fault is with SuSE, the filesystem,
or the 2.6.20 kernel.
Additionally, boot the system into single-user mode and manually run
fsck (e2fsck) in non-destructive mode on each of your file systems.

Do you have a jornaling filesystem like reiserfs or ext3? It is posible (in theory) that you loose some "data files" if you quit the power of the computer without close all the files and clear your cache. Did you have any crashes with those programs who loose files? Regards, Alejandro Gómez Fernandez Jerry Feldman escribió:

Oh, thanks. And many more thanks for the answer.

Nor so do I! I can even swear SuSE has always been the more stable and secure... until a while. Look if I have done the most badly things (once I installed one or two Mandrake packages , and it worked!), and it never complained at all. No, no. The problem is now, not before (I insist on it: never before).
Have you checked the lost+found directories in each of your file
Yes, of course. They are all empty. There's no trace of them.

Can you elborate a bit more of how the files were lost: 1. Was it during an install?
No, no... the nearly thousand SuSE installations I've done until now (as I said before, I'm using SuSE from 1997 o 1998, at home or when reselling SuSE), things were all right in every case.
2. Is it possible that your system was hacked?
Ha... It's quite impossible, but it never knows... I've traced a bit over there and I didn't find anything.
You really need to look at your logs to try to find out why things were deleted because I don't think the fault is with SuSE, the filesystem,
I wish the fault is not with SuSE!, but don't you think it's a bit strange that only have disappeared music o video files, or even jpg? Maybe the SGAE (Spanish Association for Author's Copyright, I hope you know what I mean) got "mariachis" hacking machines over internet? It's also funny to see that three of five exports to html I made with my Tellico databases, were really what disappeared... the other two are still there, in their actual directory. No, I don't think a hacker was on my machine, though I understand. And what about my html file containing only links to SuSE repositories, kde-look, gnome-look; some links to directories of my own, etc. That's it, nothing important, files that hackers don't hesitate to remove them. If so, they would be the most silly hackers in the world! I suspect something about rights and so on.

I hope so.
Additionally, boot the system into single-user mode and manually run fsck (e2fsck) in non-destructive mode on each of your file systems.
That's the only thing left me. I'll do it soon. So isn't there anybody here experienced a lost of files in a mysterious way? Is there ghosts in SuSE now? Really If I find something "strange", I will be the first true fan of SuSE removing it for ever. Bye, regards and thank you very much indeed, I will be looking forward your answer. Alejandro.

Any time I've experienced really weird issues it's been related to a

Many many thanks for your answer. No, this was my first thought and suspicion. And the reason why it's not due to hard drive falling is that I've never seen any hard drive so distressed with my bookmarks, for instance, when pointing to certain sites only... They're only the bookmarks that always disappear. Is it not a bit stupid? And even more, why always delete things related to music, videos or adult material (I've got a web site dedicated to this kind of material, belonging to a friend of mine). I must insist on it: hard drives are manufactured so anxious with copyrights or so now? Hard drives are anti-porn now? Don't you think it's a bit funny? Well, if problem persist, I will remove SuSE for ever, and I'll come back to BSD again. I have said before, and it's really a pity, but I think this is unbearable.

Yes, but this happens several months ago, and I finally am about to write to the list when I have noticed the Tellico databases disaster. It was hard for me to do it.

No, no, don't take care of this. I have two daughters, and the have their own computer. They know mine is untouchable. I already knew you were asking me for this. So that problem, discarded.
I wish the fault is not with SuSE!, but don't you think it's a bit strange that only have disappeared music o video files, or even jpg?
it's precisely this that make me think it's not suse fault.
And why not? I had all these disappeared files in different partitions, hard drives and even directories. All my computer is failing? I have just said to another lister that it's a bit strange to see only certain types of files disappearing. And for instance, why disappear the links to adult material only? Would you kindly explain to me? Perhaps failures on hardware are a "backdoor" spy now? I've never experienced this, from 1997 when I became a SuSE user and a true fan. I repeat I have done really weird things, and SuSE always was a very good friend of mine. No, no... here is something more, but unaffortunately I can't still know why. So patience.

Ram? Why? Tellico was closed; Konqueror was closed; any multimedia app was closed! Why Ram? I don't understand.

Certain links in konqueror bookmarks have in common anything to Tellico databases, for example? Please, tell me.

in fact no loss can happen without reason (even on windows :-).
Oh I assure you I missed several printings of my invoices when using Windows... I completely removed it, and since then, with SuSE and StarOffice invoices ever disappeared.
Most current are:
* accidental deletion by the user -> beware the links
No. All files I've lost didn't have any links. They were simply files in partitions on a hard drive.
* hardware errors
As I said, this was (of course, because it seemed to me something impossible to conceive in Linux) my first thought, but something indicates me that is also impossible, due to the unique kind of files that lose by themselves. A hardware error would have removed files here and there and everywhere, don't you think so? Or computer would freezed or something like this.
additional question: what % of the recent files have desapear? many, a very small bunch?
Yes! Several gigs of jpg, video files, and all Tellico databases (twenty or thirty megas of my CD's), and of course links in my konqueror bookmarks. is this serious? I think I can have got whatever I want in my computer, then why it disappears from time to time? But after all, I must admit my jpg's are STILL there, until "something" wants... Thanks indeed.

Have you perhaps an errant cron recipe. It is very difficult to imagine that an operating system is at fault for the dissappearance of a particular group of files with some commonality. More likely a program or script that accesses to view or backup that group of files is responsible.

That's what I think! Really. I've always been secure with Linux. I've never been hacked (till now, ehem...), I've never lost any piece of a file, including at moments when my SuSE indeed required a reinstallation, due to my continuing tests I do it; I've never deleted any file in a unconscious way (sorry, I don't know how to say it correctly)... SuSE was always really great. But this is incredible.
commonality. More likely a program or script that accesses to view or backup that group of files is responsible.
No. That's the reason why I never use scripts. Really. I'm not a programmer. I adore Linux only. So what?

Hahaha.... yes, you're sharp. But politics and software must never be mixed. If I see is SuSE the guilty of this case, I assure you I will remove SuSE in my four computers at home, and I will install BSD or any Linux distro. Thanks for your continously answering to my question and very serious problem. Alejandro.

given the nature of the files desapearing, I wonder. Don't ever think openSUSE is censoring your files, this is not possible, but people can access such file and cause problems (may be by accident)
And why not? I had all these disappeared files in different partitions, hard drives and even directories.
so what? how do you think any distribution can do such thing? 1 April joke? you said this happen several month ago? how can you trace that? how can you be so sure not to have deleted them yourself?
I have just said to another lister that it's a bit strange to see only certain types of files disappearing. And for instance, why disappear the links to adult material only?
this can only be done by a human... not a computer. What mean éadult" foir a computer
Ram? Why? Tellico was closed; Konqueror was closed; any multimedia app was closed! Why Ram? I don't understand.
please, be calm. how can you know when the file was gone?
Certain links in konqueror bookmarks have in common anything to Tellico databases, for example? Please, tell me.
date, reference in some index, size, any system (software) failure have to get some common thing. a failure is part of a programm and act like it, only hardware can be pure random (and rarely)
access? all accessed recently? could them be all in ram when problem occure?
if only part of the ram is faulty, yes. anyway it's easy to test, do it!
Oh I assure you I missed several printings of my invoices when using Windows...
these are not files
indicates me that is also impossible, due to the unique kind of files that lose by themselves.
this is only human action, not computer...
Yes! Several gigs of jpg, video files, and all Tellico databases (twenty or thirty megas of my CD's), and of course links in my konqueror bookmarks. is this serious?
even a small loss is serious, but the problem is different given the size. a ram problem is smaller than the total computer ram (probably) your one may be hard drive problem, cable problem (between the motherboard and the drive), but definitively, if it's content related don't blame the computer. do you, by chance, use WIFI network? is it locked? jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Lucien Dodin, inventeur http://lucien.dodin.net/index.shtml -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi.

Indeed? I've never used LimeWire. Then files lost have nothing at all in common to LimeWire, aMule, Lopster or whatever else. It's true that, in the case of certain links in my konqueror bookmarks, it only happens when I change from Gnome to KDE, or viceversa. I don't know whether it's something important, but I have decided to tell you if this can helps. Thanks again and again to everybody. I don't want to be hasty for you. If someone knows anything about this, I would appreciate; if not, I will have to take an important decision.
I was looking for a song i had downloaded and bingo all gone several hundred files just a thought maybe something similar ..
Thank you, indeed. But this is not the case. Files are mp3, jpg, avi, mpg, wmv, html, only certain links in my konqueror bookmarks, and all my Tellico databases of music. Does it not sound to any backdoor or similar???? I'm very sorry to point it out, but ... Alejandro.

it's probably so. may be your computer was, time ago hit by a rootkit and now somebody can access it from external without you knowing nothing about it. laptops are risky (is it one?) so, backup any _data_, launch a repair cd and search for a rootkit. there are utilities on the web, however I have no knowledge about them. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Lucien Dodin, inventeur http://lucien.dodin.net/index.shtml -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hmmm... Certainly, I cannot certify at all, but believe me, it's nearly impossible that issue. But, though I've considered yet, it's the last test I'll do, and that's the reason why it will be the last one, because I don't think of it.
laptops are risky (is it one?)
No. It's my home machine, a Tower PC.
so, backup any _data_, launch a repair cd and search for a rootkit. there are utilities on the web, however I have no knowledge about them.
Yes. Though SuSE and any Linux always let me not to be so distressed to backup all (I think this is not good expressed, sorry), I think it would be a good thing to have into account. But, I swear, I never needed any backup: SuSE NEVER has failed to me. NEVER (excuse for the capital letters, but they're really needed here: I'm not crying, but not html mail does not make easy to remark words). Thanks, Alejandro.

These has always been my words, but nothing: I lost my Tellico databases yesterday, when opened to add another CD. I saw the message saying that "Sorry, I cannot find your databases!"
for the unseen files. Are all these missing files in their own directory?
Tellico files, of course they were. The directory was /home/user/Documents/Tellico/Databases, the usual place, I think. But all jpg and videos were in another drive, separated in many directories. And my html file with links to several sites, into /home/user. But, what about only certain links to several sites in my konqueror bookmarks? How do you explain this issue? Not all the bookmarks, i refer only to four or five links. Don't you think is not incredible and embarrasing?
And is the entire directory "empty"?
Yes. Jpg and videos, the whole directory "empty". Nothing at all: it seemed that Atila had passed by that place...
Perhaps you had a "pix" folder on its own partition, and a "music" directory on another partition...etc...etc.
So what? To be honest, any loss have been produced since last week or so, I can't remember the just number of days. And my system is still the same: nothing has changed, thank God.
If so, and they now appear empty, could it be that they have failed to mount? That could explain if you now "cd" to the "mount point", and get an empty directory listing...
No, no... that's my situation,but other partitions on other drives are mounted inmediately because my desktop wallpapers are there and I noticed at once they are not mounted.
If so, the files are probably still there and safe...but on an unmounted partition.
I wish all my files were there!!!! But, unfortunately not.
I'm guessing these drives are all internal, but just in case...are these NFS mounted file systems? That also would show you an empty folder if the NFS mount failed.
No. They're simply two hard dirves, mounted as ext3 (I leaved using reiser two o three years ago, when I saw a friend of mine's hard disk completely corrupted, and I don't like to run any risk).
What does /etc/mtab have to tell you???
Nothing. The usual information.
Just a thought from New Mexico...
Ok, thanks, my friend. Pleased to meet you. Here, from Spain. Alejandro.

Or mounting something over them, or having a failing mount of something that should be mounted at a particular place. or a LVM with a missing device/partition. To have damage specific to certain types of files instead of total regions of the drive seems more like sabotage or accident than any system problem or hard disk failure. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Let's regress a bit. Based on your responses, we know you are an
experienced user. So, lets try to think of ways that files can be
deleted or hidden.
Is it possible that something might have changed the partition table,
so now you are mounting the wrong partitions. I've done that to myself
a number of times without thinking.
One of the best ways to track this down is:
1. Boot to single user with only root mounted.
2. foreach partition (use fdisk to list your partitions on all your
drives).
mount partition on /mnt
cd /mnt
find . -name <a missing file>
cd
umount /mnt
This can be tedious, but it is one way to find out if your files are
still there. Make sure the file you are looking for was definitely
there previously. Also, by using this method, you can assure yourself
that you did not inadvertently mount another file system over a
directory.
Just one more question, did fsck report any errors, either before you
lost your files or after you lost them.

Thank you. I said before I was not going to follow the thread, because of some responses of some people here. But, as you do answer, I will be not so unkind and not answer too. You're the first people that have into account and consider my ten years of linux experience. Thanks, again.

¿"Something"? If it so, don't you think this is not then a very serious fail of my Linux system?
so now you are mounting the wrong partitions. I've done that to myself a number of times without thinking.
No. That's impossible. I reboot my machine... last time since nearly four or five months before. No. Partitions where take place these "ghostly removings" is the /home directory where I work every day. And sometimes I even change from one user to another. I have only experienced this with my usual account user, called "ale" (from my name Alejandro).

Boot to single user with only root mounted. 2. foreach partition (use fdisk to list your partitions on all your drives). mount partition on /mnt cd /mnt find . -name <a missing file> cd umount /mnt This can be tedious, but it is one way to find out if your files are still there.

But, I repeat again, do you consider a wrong partition mounting, for instance, that some links are the UNIQUE links removed from time to time from my Konqueror bookmarks? If so, what a nonsense partitioning I have!!!
Just one more question, did fsck report any errors, either before you lost your files or after you lost them.
Nop. Last time I reboot, in order to check entire file system, nothng at all... well, the usual message: "Hard drive has been mounted 266 days without checking..." or so, you know. It finished quite right. Thank you very much. Cheers, Alejandro. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi, Carlos. I would like to express myself in Spanish, so that my problem would be better explained, because my English is bad. Well, said this, I go there.
I have no idea what a "Tellico databases" is.
Tellico is an application for KDE managing CD or books, in a "database way". I assure you it's really a pity for me something like this occurs.
However, I'm certain there is no backdoor. You can not blame SuSE of that.
I don't say there is a backdoor. I asked myself if something like this would have to be appreciated, in order to get an logical explanation. I adore SuSE (I think you know) and I assure you I have thought this over, because I suspected this would become a unwanted issue (sorry, I cannot remember the word). But seen some comments here, I'm going to stop this flame (hey, this is the word, isn't it?) and this mail will be the last one about it. I wanted to say hello to you. That's all.
If there is a single program accessing all those files, that one would be suspect. I would also suspect human action: error or intentional, local or remote. Backdoor? No.
I've already said I'm not busy completely asleep and doing deletions on my hard drive. It's unnatural and stupid! But If all of you prefer thinking like this, I have said I stop this thread here.
Me, I have lost whole partitions. Almost a full 130 GiB hard disk trashed. Full days working on recovery. Do I blame Suse? I was using filesystems prepared by them, and they failed to protect my data. Do I blame Suse? Certainly not.
Yes, I lost a hard disk, after a power cut. I tried to recover it, but I couldn't. That's all of my problems with data loss with Linux since ten years ago. It happened five months ago. And it was my server hard drive!
What proof do you have that SuSE is to blame? Only that you can not find out what happened, so you blame SuSE.
No. I don't have any proof at all, and, I would say more, I don't want to have them, because, I repeat, I adore SuSE and Linux. If I would have prooves (or proofs? sorry!) it would hurt me, indeed. Pleased to find you out here again, and thank you all. Alejandro.

Hi, Carlos. I would like to express myself in Spanish, so that my problem would be better explained, because my English is bad. Well, said this, I go there.
No problem. You express yourself clearly enough. There are many people here for which English is not the first language (idioma nativo), me included and we are used to "fuzzy" English, so 99% of people here are very tolerant with _that_ ;-) I'll tell you an anecdote. A physics teacher told me once that if when writing an exam I could not express myself in English, I could do it in Spanish (he doesn't know a word of Spanish). He said he was examining me on Physics, not English. It's an anecdote I cherish, and tells a lot about character and tolerance... I don't think a Spanish teacher would ever do that. So go ahead and write! :-)
I have no idea what a "Tellico databases" is.
Tellico is an application for KDE managing CD or books, in a "database way". I assure you it's really a pity for me something like this occurs.
Ok. I say that because as I don't know what it does and how, I can not even guess what the problem with tellico could be. My own books database uses mysql. What I and the rest can assure you is that there is no intentional misbehaving in suse linux that could cause a disaster like yours. I can very well imagine your distress. We can only make guesses, but we can not know what happened. What we do know is an old admin maxim: «The question is not whether I will loose some data. The question is /when/ will I loose that data.» It is just a question of time, we will have a disaster of some kind or another, big, small, random, intentional, accidental... who knows. Libraries get on fire, like the old one at Alexandria. Irretrievable manuscripts were lost for ever. So we can prepare and do backups... that's the only thing. They are far easier to do now than they were two thousand years ago. I was hit by a big data loss disaster recently, so I learned - I hope. (el herrero con cuchara de palo). I will be hit again some time. So will you. This is life. (some comments)
But seen some comments here, I'm going to stop this flame (hey, this is the word, isn't it?)
Yep.
If I would have prooves (or proofs? sorry!) it would hurt me, indeed.
Proofs. The other one is a verb, misspelled ;-)

Well, If someone writes trying to help, I won't be unkind for not answering. For that I thank your help. For instance, jpg and movies were all in the same partition, but in different directories; but Tellico databases in another drive (/home/user/Documents/Tellico/Databases). It's funny (as I've said before) three of the five exports to html I did some days ago, still remains there... But how about only several links of my Konqueror bookmarks? This is always found in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror, though is also /home/user/, but it haven't anything in common. Well, I would repeat my thanks, and I'll do anything some day. I hoped this would be of help, but some people here seems to suffer a lot with my problem, and I don't want anyone die reading my mails.
