I am using pcqlinux 7.1. cfdisk o/p is as follows:
Name Flags Part Type FS Type Label] Size(MB)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hda1 Boot Primary Win95 FAT32 2204.38
hda5 Logical Win95 FAT32 2097.45
hda6 Logical Linux ext2 [/] 1677.96
hda7 Logical Linux ext2 [/home] 320.79
hda8 Logical Linux swap 131.61
hda9 Logical Linux ext2 1702.64
hda10 Logical Linux ext2 312.57
I needed to access hda5 (D:) so I mounted it and ran ls on the one of the
directories. I then had to attend to a (long) phone call and the computer
went into sleep mode (hda5 was still mounted).
Imagine my horror when, on re-awakening the pc, I found out that a large
chunk of files *and* directories had simply disappeared from the partition.
This is not the first time this has happened. I have experienced this to
varying degrees of severity on two differnet installs of pcql 77.1 on
different machines.
what am I doing wrong. why is a mere ls on a vfat partition erasing files ?
regards,
Sharukh.
