Hi,
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.
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?
Thanks, Clemens
