Hello together Just reporting some observations after making a brand new installation of Ubuntu 9.04 with ext4 as default file system on my Sony Vaio VGN- FS195VP. Since the installation some days ago I had again four hard locks, but luckily - despite my experiences some weeks ago - without any data loss. All of them happened with the standard installation of Ubuntu on the Gnome desktop.
One hard lock happened when listening internet radio with quodlibet in the background and trying to update Ubuntu via Synaptics. Another one when trying to rip a dvd with wine and dvdshrink in the background and trying to open other applications (Firefox, Bluefish, gFTP) almost at the same time. The other two happended when trying to remove some ISO files of DVDs (together maybe about 12 GB data) from the trash. The trash icon on the desktop turned empty (actuallly a good sign), but about five seconds later the entire system crashed . The Kernel running on my system is 2.6.28-11-generic and the Gnome version is 2.6.28-11-generic. Since I am not a very technical guy, I have not applied any of the above mentioned remedies. But as I am very happy with ext4 as my default file system (and have not yet experienced data loss!) I will keep it hoping that there will be some fixes in the next Kernel. Thanks for all your explanations about ext4, Theodore Ts'o, and keep up the good work! -- Ext4 data loss https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317781 You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs, which is subscribed to ecryptfs-utils in ubuntu.

The first time i had this problem was a few days ago when after a power loss ktimetracker's config file was replaced by a 0 byte version . No idea if anything else was affected.. I just noticed ktimetracker right away. Today, I was experimenting with some BIOS settings that made the system crash right after loading the desktop. After a clean reboot pretty much any file written to by any application (during the previous boot) was 0 bytes. For example Plasma and some of the KDE core config files were reset. Also some of my MySQL databases were killed... My EXT4 partitions all use the default settings with no performance tweaks. Barriers on, extents on, ordered data mode.. I used Ext3 for 2 years and I never had any problems after power losses or system crashes. Jaunty has all the recent updates except for the kernel that i don't upgrade because of bug #315006 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: linux-image-2.6.28-4-generic 2.6.28-4.6 ProcCmdLine: root=UUID=81942248-db70-46ef-97df-836006aad399 ro rootfstype=ext4 vga=791 all_generic_ide elevator=anticipatory ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE= LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.28-4.6-generic SourcePackage: linux _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
