Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Ubuntu is using a write cache for accessing disks. That means that data isn't written instantly but writing is delayed. The advantage of this is that applications don't have to wait for data being written and different write actions can be grouped together. That greatly improves write performance and responsiveness of applications. However one drawback is that the file system may be corrupted or inconsistent if the writing process is interrupted, e.g. be removing an external drive or by a system freeze. Note that because Microsoft didn't release the NTFS specifications Linux still has some issues regarding NTFS. Therefor it may be preferable to use other file systems when working with Linux. As this issue isn't a bug but the expected (but admittedly not ideal) behavior I convert this bug report into a question. -- file move causes data loss if interrupted due to system crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303610 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
