Public bug reported:
(in advance : sorry for the vague bug report, but I really don't know
what other information would be relevant)
With Natty Narwhal alpha 1 (as of 2011-01-10), each time the system is
powered off improperly (violently), the system does a fsck at reboot
(which is normal). What is not normal is that severe filesystem damage
seems to occur each time, despite these being journalized filesystems.
Bad thing is that the problem affects the directory structure. A manual
fsck recovers data in lost+found, but it's still unpleasant ;-).
I'm using ext4 partitions. My hard disk is recent and seems to be in
good shape. I'm reporting this problem against natty, because it did not
seem to happen with maverick (and the same partitions).
Yes, I'm aware it's alpha software and risky to use. I'm willing to
alpha test that software and be hit by similar plagues ;-).
