Public bug reported:
Version: 8.04 with all updates applied
1) Cut a few GB worth of files from PC somewhere like the desktop or Documents
2) Paste files to an NTFS formatted USB drive
3) Make Linux crash (in my case it's a full-freeze - the mouse won't move or
anything) and you have to do a hard reset.
4) Reboot. The files that had completed moving to the USB drive are gone, those
that hadn't copied are still on the source drive.
What should have happened: The "completed" files from the large move
should have been on the destination drive despite the system lockup.
What actually happened: The files on the destination drive were written
but apparently they were not entered into the NTFS table. Running chkdsk
in windows recovered the files as "found" files and as "recovered file
fragments".
This is enough to make me refuse to use Ubuntu until fixed. I've never
had such file loss in Windows, and it's not acceptable that a "more
stable & more secure" OS would fail in such an area - ever!
