I started using EXT4 for a very long time. The diskcheck on boot nearly always finds errors and fixes them.
I never had data loss until now. Suddenly the system froze. I did a hard-reset and when i booted the check detected lots of errors. It failed to fix. When I rebooted Grub was gone. I booted a live cd and discovered that the my root partition was blank! I have lost ALL my data!
Judging by responses, I guess that my problem is due to the Hardware testing I perform sometimes that causes the PC to freeze. I did read an article saying EXT4 was vulnerable to data loss in an improper shutdown than EXT3.
