Ha, ha, ha. Thanks for your answer.
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.
you can't blame anybody before knowing what happen
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.
- 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.
is your computer accessable by any people in your family/workmate?
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.
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.
also test your ram (with memtest)
Ram? Why? Tellico was closed; Konqueror was closed; any multimedia app was closed! Why Ram? I don't understand.
to speak generally, you need to find what all these files have in common that could explain the same problem.
Certain links in konqueror bookmarks have in common anything to Tellico databases, for example? Please, tell me.
tehre are not same files extension, not same place on the filesystem, may be the date of access? all accessed recently? could them be all in ram when problem occure?
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.
