Lost directories.
In the past three weeks I have lost three directories. Just
disappeared. I lost /usr/local/bin and had to start recompiling
years's of work. Sure, it's my own fault, but in the several years I
have been using Debian GNU/Linux, I have never had this happen. I
can't believe I was doing anything even close to that directory.
Then I lost /root. In the middle of a session, meaning I had to
reconstruct the .bashrc and .bash_profile files. Very strange. I am
sure I wasn't doing anything with /root!
Today, I lost a small subdirectory, a symlink to another
directory, in my home directory. In the middle of an editing session,
I had to reconstruct that directory, as a symlink, and save all files
I was working on in emacs. If I'd shutdown, I shudder to think what
would have happened.
I am fallable. However, these kinds of errors have not happened to me
in many years. Suddenly, there is a rash of events. Can someone
advise me whether there is something I ought to be aware of? Is this
possibly a precursor of "greater" things to come? Hardware failure?
I am worried.
