I recently had a very bad experience on my notebook with ext3 and fsck. It had not checked the disk for 180 days, and started it... I can now estimate about 60 files I lost in /usr (most of them in /usr/bin), but I regularly discover new missing ones. Since this notebook has experience lots of crashes, I think that the FS already was in bad situation, but these files were still OK for me just before I shut it down. I cannot imagine not noticing a "make: command not found" after a day of compilation. So I stuffed some missing files in it again and it's OK now. I really don't know what happened. Perhaps I fscked during a solar flare :-)
Cheers Willy
