Hi folks, when my computer crashed last time, the jfs mounted drives claimed that the fs is "clean" on the next reboot. However, some data was found in files were it didn't belong. My browser bookmarks, for example, went into the configuration file of an email application (and therefore messed it up).
Now I'm wondering: When the computer just crashes, is it ok for jfs to call the fs "clean" on the next reboot? How come that data moves into places it doesn't belong to? Is there any chance to prevent such thing to happen? Is there any chance to figure out which files have been corrupted so that the last backup may be used? System is Debian Etch, to be honest in an sophisticated configuration;) Partition 1, Software Raid, ReiserFS, mounted on / Partition 2, Software Raid, CryptoFS, JFS, mounted on /cryptofs_mountpoint Output from the first boot after the crash is below.
