Re: .bash_history deleted
Eduard Bloch, 07/08/07 16:40: Hi Anna. Anna Machens, 08.07.2007 15:48: That’s really odd; I experienced the same thing yesterday. Suddenly there was no history anymore but since then, the file has been growing normally like before. I have seen this several times in the past, still having no idea how this happens. For a while I suspected bash_completion but I think I saw this also without bash_completion. Finally I am suspecting the filesystem journaling doing weird things, since it it mostly happened after crashes with JFS and XFS, but (almost? not sure) never with Ext3. I have seen this today too, with my normal user account under X (debian lenny | kernel 2.6.22.1). I use a crypted ext3 file system. I worked in Eterm, and suddenly my history of the Eterm session was cut off (only the last 500 commands | LIMIT of the bash_history is 50.000) I think that Eterm has overwrite the old history with the cut one, Sorry my bad English, i hope you understood me.

.bash_history deleted
hey, (i'm using debian unstable ) i am totally confused. suddenly, my .bash_history file for root did not exist anymore. now, i've been checking for rootkits, sniffers, listening ports and all that, and did not find anything suspicious. is it possible, that the file could have been deleted by some upgrade or other kind of weird error? i am quite sure that i did not erase it myself. thanks for your help anna -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Same here. is it possible, that the file could have been deleted by some upgrade or other kind of weird error? i am quite sure that i did not erase it myself. I’m curious too now. I wouldn’t have looked farther into that if you hadn’t raised the question. Regards, Mathias -- debian/rules signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Quoting Eduard Bloch [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have seen this several times in the past, still having no idea how this happens. For a while I suspected bash_completion but I think I saw this also without bash_completion. Finally I am suspecting the filesystem journaling doing weird things, since it it mostly happened after crashes with JFS and XFS, but (almost? not sure) never with Ext3. This is normal behaviour for journaled filesystems like XFS and JFS, because they only journal the metadata. However, this shouldn't delete the file, only fill it with garbage or zeros.
