Public bug reported:
In the past 2 weeks I have experienced at least 2 instances of new files
either downloaded from the web or copied from an external drive to my
Ubuntu 14.04 final beta system (x64 bit ubuntu desktop) disappearing
from my system.
The first instance was an .mpg file downloaded from the web. I had
actually been watching that .mpg using VLC but stopped it and planned to
continue the next morning. I shutdown the system and the next morning
restarted it.
I went to the directory that the Movie (.mpg) file was the night before
... now the directory was empty.
Yesterday... I copied 15 Microsoft Word documents to my Ubuntu 14.04 system
from a USB external drive.
I edited each of those files with LibreWriter, saved the edit and printed the
documents.
Last night I again shutdown my system and this morning restarted it.
I again used Nautilus to go to the directory where the .ODT and .DOCX
files were the night before.... again... the directory was there but
there were NO files.
I am NOT deleting those files and I am not sure what is going on.
After the first occurrence I thought I thought I'd must have deleted the
.mpg movie... but after the 2nd occurrence ... and losing 30 new files
(the original 15 Word docs and the 15 .ODT documents created from those
Word Docs... I believe Ubuntu is losing these files.
I searched my entire 2TB disk (sudo find / -name *.odt -print) and it
does NOT find any of the .odt files) same for the Word files.
I wanted to report this in case others are having this occur. If this
is a Bug ... it would be a nasty one to get into the final release!
I DO NOT believe any files existing on the disk prior ot the recent
upgrade to the final Beta are or have been affected ... I think only
"new" files created after the Final Beta upgrade.
My file system is a 2TB HD ext4.
I've checked the disk and the system reports NO disk errors.
