Just happend again to me.
After the intel driver crashed my system, the source-file I was
working on was empty. Fourtunatly eclipse has a history-log.

Never had your /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow zeroed? Lucky you...


Isn't there a way to switch off the more "dangerous" optimizations in ext4?
I already searched howto do this, but from what I've seen there was
only discussion about providing a switch for disabling delayed
allocation, but it was never done?

Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt?
