In the past three weeks I have lost three directories. Just disappeared. I lost /usr/local/bin and had to start recompiling years's of work. Sure, it's my own fault, but in the several years I have been using Debian GNU/Linux, I have never had this happen. I can't believe I was doing anything even close to that directory.
Then I lost /root. In the middle of a session, meaning I had to reconstruct the .bashrc and .bash_profile files. Very strange. I am sure I wasn't doing anything with /root! Today, I lost a small subdirectory, a symlink to another directory, in my home directory. In the middle of an editing session, I had to reconstruct that directory, as a symlink, and save all files I was working on in emacs. If I'd shutdown, I shudder to think what would have happened. I am fallable. However, these kinds of errors have not happened to me in many years. Suddenly, there is a rash of events. Can someone advise me whether there is something I ought to be aware of? Is this possibly a precursor of "greater" things to come? Hardware failure? I am worried. Alan -- Alan E.
