I completely lost all the data on the drive due to it seeing every cluster after a certain point and just wiping them in the bootup fsck. So I ask you now, are there any known issues with large (meaning 33.8+ gig) IDE drives currently in the 3.4 release? If not, are there any things I should be aware of, as it is currently one large ext2 partition? Can I leave it as such without any problems?
