Thank you. I said before I was not going to follow the thread, because of some responses of some people here. But, as you do answer, I will be not so unkind and not answer too. You're the first people that have into account and consider my ten years of linux experience. Thanks, again. > Is it possible that something might have changed the partition table, ¿"Something"?

No. That's impossible. I reboot my machine... last time since nearly four or five months before. No. Partitions where take place these "ghostly removings" is the /home directory where I work every day. And sometimes I even change from one user to another. I have only experienced this with my usual account user, called "ale" (from my name Alejandro). > > One of the best ways to track this down is: > 1.

But, I repeat again, do you consider a wrong partition mounting, for instance, that some links are the UNIQUE links removed from time to time from my Konqueror bookmarks? If so, what a nonsense partitioning I have!!! > > Just one more question, did fsck report any errors, either before you > lost your files or after you lost them. Nop. Last time I reboot, in order to check entire file system, nothng at all... well, the usual message: "Hard drive has been mounted 266 days without checking..." or so, you know. It finished quite right. Thank you very much. Cheers, Alejandro. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
