I have been running Debian unstable for over a few months on a SONY PCG-SR5K
without any problems.
Recently, after shutting down my laptop in class, I booted up and all the
inodes got messed up under my $HOME. After running fsck /dev/hda9 and holding
down the Y key until end, all my user data on the ext2 filestystm was to be
moved to /home/lost+found. Luckily, I didn't loose any data. But, this gave me
a scare.
I am wondering what may have caused this corruption?
How I shutdown--:
I shutdown the laptop with /sbin/init 0, which I feel is equivalent to a halt.
This may not be the safest way. Is there a better way to shutdown ?
I have started using shutdown -h.
Other Harddrive management programs:
I recently started using /sbin/hdparm -y -S 1 /dev/hda to save on power and
limit harddrive spinning.
Am I doing something wrong here?
OS settings:
Debian testing/unstable
Kernel 2.4.10-pre10
hdparm v3.9
fsck version 1.22
apm enabled
