Ok. I do use UPSes. I have quite a number of them, one on every one of my PCs, some quite large 2 UPS1400s, 2 UPS600s, 1UPS800, many more.
I understand. However, I have never, ever had such loss on other systems. In my 20+ years of computing, Never has it happened. So you see that this is extremely difficult for me to accept that this issue, one that I can repeat reliably, is solely a HDD caching issue when it has never happened on another of my systems. I just preformed a test to try to duplicate the issue on the exact same hardware running Win XP. I copied some data (so as to have a backup) and then initiated a 3.5GB move from the main drive to the USB drive. Then I pulled the power when half-way through. Here are the reliable results from every time I preformed the test: File Loss on Source drive: NONE File Loss on Dest drive: NONE File Corruption on Source drive: NONE File Corruption on Dest drive: 1 File corrupted: The file that was in progress when the power was pulled. This tells me that you are incorrect in stating that it is not possible. It is possible. Until I can do the same test with the same results with an NTFS drive running on Linux, it's a bug to loose or corrupt data on the source drive. Whose bug? I'm not sure. -- file move causes data loss if interrupted due to system crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303610 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
