I've seen a couple of times that files are filled with zero's after rebooting. This time it was my ".bashrc" file. I might have just powered off the machine, but the this file wasn't open for writing at the time of shutdown. After turning the machine on last night, I noticed that my shell prompt had changed, and discovered that the file was full of ASCII null characters.
I've seen this happen a couple of times before on other machines. Then the file "/usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc" had been similiarly trashed - full of zeros. And, it seems that the file size was larger than usual. I've been using the XFS filesystem on these machines for a couple of years now. Is this a failure of the disk drive, or should I switch to ext3 ?? Thanks.
