I had some (actually a lot) of trouble with a corrupted partition table
some time back. Believed to be atrributed to Diskdrake. Had some more
recent trouble of the same sort though lesser. First incident was 7.2
and corrupted the whole darn thing beyond recovery. The second only
hurt one of the ext2 partitions.
