That's the most probable cause due to a power failure last night
combined with 'ext4' file systems.

However, this shows more possible problems with ext4 than expected.
The expected problem until now was to have zero length files on sudden
power failure but only for files that didn't had enough time to "sync"
to disk.

Maybe reassign and lower severity?

Thanks
