Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
I had a lot of files on my old flash drive and wanted to move them to my new one. I moved them via my home folder. Then, when I was done, my files were gone. This was on my old installation, but I can provide some possibly relevant information: - The drive I moved from was 128MB vfat. - The drive I moved to was 1GB vfat. On my new installation, I encountered a similar problem, while not so severe. I renamed a folder, and then it seemed to disappear. But when I clicked "refresh", it returned. The fstab of my current installation is as follows (probably f***** anyway): # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sda2 none ext3 auto 0 1 /dev/sdb1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 #Here is the flash pen /dev/sdc1 /media/GMINNEPINNE vfat user 0 1 /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0 #fstab end I tried the program testdisk to see if it was possible to recover any of the data. It was not. But the program gives strange warning messages: Disk /dev/sdc - 1016 MB / 969 MiB - CHS 1017 32 61 Current partition structure: Partition Start End Size in sectors Warning: Incorrect number of heads/cylinder 255 (FAT) != 32 (HD) Warning: Incorrect number of sectors per track 32 (FAT) != 61 (HD) 1 * FAT16 >32M 0 0 33 1016 20 59 1984479 [NO NAME] Warning: Bad ending head (CHS and LBA don't match) #(end) I chose "Intel/PC partition" in the menu. Was that right?
