I had massive corruption on a new drive. My new IDE ext3 drive had some problems, now it can't be mounted and fsck fails.
Drive was new, less than one month in use. I had Feisty that was just installed. Drive was using ext3. Currently, file rescue is a priority, but after that I might have more details. Similar bugs: Bug #65815 Ext3 corruption on a drive Bug #53102 ext3 partitions are getting corrupt more often than they should [this one] Bug #66032 fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve Bug #118256 ext3 data corruption with kernel 2.6.20-16-generic A bug can't get more serious than massive data loss. Because of the corruptive nature, also backups may be affected. I find it interesting that this confirmed bug is one year old, but its importance is "undecided".
