Further down the thread he says:


I've not had any problems in Feisty.

While I'm not sure what caused the initial data corruption, I suspect that
it may have been writing to my Ext3 partition from Windows using one of the
Ext3 drivers available for that OS. The reason I suspect it is that files
and directories I had written to from Windows were the ones that took the
brunt of the corruption. Since I've stopped writing to the Linux partitions
from Windows I've not noticed any corruption problems (but I did lose a lot
of data that I hadn't yet backed up).


Note, he was writing TO the Linux partition FROM Windoze. When he STOPPED
doing that, he didn't lose any data.

Now I believe we know who the *real* culprit in this was, & it *wasn't*
Linux. DooFuS should have read further, but he was in such a hurry to post
what he first saw, he missed that. His post has backfired on him IMO.

Actually, I think that guy is simply making stuff up.

he reason I don't have very recent backups is because Linux wasn't
able to write to my external USB drive because it was NTFS. I had to
wipe the backups to free up enough space for me to convert it to
FAT32...

Either that, or he's running with an old hard drive.

I have a hard drive like that, and it shows plenty of warnings in the
logs. Do I trust it for my OS support? No. I use it as a repository
for building ISO's of MP3 files. I won't weep if the whole drive goes
belly up.

I've had no problems with ext3 on other drives.

Oh, one last thing. Apparently DFS didn't read far enough. Same

As they almost always do. He's a total fsckwit and, like most of his
ilk, never seems to tire of making a jackass of himself.

DumbFull**** should perhaps have taken a look to that site before showing
his monumental idiocy once again.
It spells out in plain english that it is a *ext2* driver, not ext3,
although that would not incur data loss, just a rescan of the volume

It also talks about the (many) limits of that driver.
For example that it does *not* support UTF8 filenames. Not even different
code-pages. Just the standard win-character set.
A prime condidate to wreak havoc, it seems. Written by a windows programmer

What can one say in this case? Is DumbFull**** just dumb (and full of it)?
Or did his inbred dishonesty take over again?

In either case, it was a monumental self-nuke. Again

It isn't, of course. I can write from any linux distro which is using one
filesystem (ext3, reiserfs etc) *to* another linux distro using a
*different* filesystem, & there is no trouble. I can write from my *BSD
installations (which use UNIX filesystems) to any linux distro using ext3,
reiserfs, etc filesystems & there is no trouble.

If it was linux it's what Doofu$ would term as "slopware". As the
application was written by a *windoze* coder, you notice he didn't.
