[Bug 53102] Massive data loss

[Tero Karvinen]

I had massive corruption on a new drive.

My new IDE ext3 drive had some problems, now it can't be mounted and
fsck fails.

Drive was new, less than one month in use. I had Feisty that was just
installed. Drive was using ext3. Currently, file rescue is a priority,
but after that I might have more details.

Similar bugs:

Bug #66032 fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve
Bug #118256 ext3 data corruption with kernel 2.6.20-16-generic

A bug can't get more serious than massive data loss. Because of the
corruptive nature, also backups may be affected. I find it interesting
that this confirmed bug is one year old, but its importance is
"undecided".

I hope that somehow, there is a non-OS explanation to this bug...
