I'm rather astounded. I'm currently at a Linux conference, and have of course been boasting about the stability of ufs, and today I had a crash which tore apart my /home file system. This is on a laptop, one which has been running -CURRENT for years with no trouble. At the moment it's running 5.0-RELEASE. Today I shut it down cleanly, and a couple of hours later rebooted it. It has three file systems, one of which came up dirty. fsck -y reported thousands of errors, and when it was finished, my home directory and some other files were gone, and all the subdirectories of my home directory were in lost+found, a total of 1.4 GB. Most of the errors appear to be duplicate Inode numbers. Obviously it's too late to work out what happened, but I thought it's worth mentioning in case somebody else is having the same trouble.
