Public bug reported: Binary package hint: lyx
The file on which I was working became zero-length after a system crash. The file system I for my partitions is ext4, so very likely the issue is due to delayed allocation. For further information, see: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/317781 and namely: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/317781/comments/45 As a workaround (will it be enough?) I now mount my partitions with auto_da_alloc; maybe you should consider to make it the default for karmic.
