Hard drive failing perhaps ???? Any time I've experienced really weird issues it's been related to a hard drive failing.

Oh, thanks. And many more thanks for the answer. > > Just a comment, I have been using SuSE for quite a while, and I have > never experienced a loss of data that I could blame on Linux. Nor so do I! I can even swear SuSE has always been the more stable and secure... until a while. Look if I have done the most badly things (once I installed one or two Mandrake packages , and it worked!), and it never complained at all. No, no. The problem is now, not before (I insist on it: never before). > Have you checked the lost+found directories in each of your file Yes, of course. They are all empty.

No, no... the nearly thousand SuSE installations I've done until now (as I said before, I'm using SuSE from 1997 o 1998, at home or when reselling SuSE), things were all right in every case. > 2. Is it possible that your system was hacked? Ha... It's quite impossible, but it never knows... I've traced a bit over there and I didn't find anything. > You really need to look at your logs to try to find out why things were > deleted because I don't think the fault is with SuSE, the filesystem, I wish the fault is not with SuSE!, but don't you think it's a bit strange that only have disappeared music o video files, or even jpg? Maybe the SGAE (Spanish Association for Author's Copyright, I hope you know what I mean) got "mariachis" hacking machines over internet? It's also funny to see that three of five exports to html I made with my Tellico databases, were really what disappeared... the other two are still there, in their actual directory. No, I don't think a hacker was on my machine, though I understand. And what about my html file containing only links to SuSE repositories, kde-look, gnome-look; some links to directories of my own, etc. That's it, nothing important, files that hackers don't hesitate to remove them. If so, they would be the most silly hackers in the world! I suspect something about rights and so on. > or the 2.6.20 kernel. I hope so. > Additionally, boot the system into single-user mode and manually run > fsck (e2fsck) in non-destructive mode on each of your file systems. That's the only thing left me. I'll do it soon. So isn't there anybody here experienced a lost of files in a mysterious way? Is there ghosts in SuSE now? Really If I find something "strange", I will be the first true fan of SuSE removing it for ever. Bye, regards and thank you very much indeed, I will be looking forward your answer.
