<html>Hi all,<br /><br />I hesitate to even bring this up, but i can't seem to figure out what's going on and i'm reaching for the very, extremely, improbable.<br /><br />Twice now i've had filesystem corruption (linux, ext4) and the majority of the recovered data from fsck were files/folders in Mail. which seems reasonable (because it's touched frequenctly) except<br /><br />1 i don't get that much mail<br />2 i'm doing lots of file editing working on, for example, source code and not seeing _any_ problems.<br />3 i've had 2 incidences and the second one was exclusively in the Mail folder<br /><br />i have used claws-mail for many, many years (it's a great program !) and _never_ seen a problem, but as i said i'm looking at the very, very improbable.<br /><br />it looks to me like claws mail does very simple folder/file organization, and would tend to do disk IO on a file basis, as opposed to "low level" disk reads/writes. is this correct ?<br /><br />can anyone think of any wacky situation where claws-mail might somehow corrupt the filesystem ? perhaps if there was bad information in a config file somewhere causing it to do bogus writes, or ... ?<br /><br />Sorry to bring up such an improbable scenario, but i'm running out of ideas<br /><br />p.s. it also occurs to me that some _other_ application is doing bogus writes and they are simply ending up in the Mail folder by coincidence. not sure how i might track something like that down.<br />p.p.s i'm running out of ideas because every disk access test i've run says the disk drive is fine.</html>
