In Stable (Etch), new kernels come out far more frequently than that.
Since you have to reboot to get the new kernel, even without a
power-cycle, anyone who keeps their system up-to-date likely won't be
able to provide anecdotal evidence of their system _not_ loosing a
drive, since the uptime is never that long.

Why haven't you been keeping the kernel up-to-date?
