FLAC and MP3 files being deleted from my PC
A week ago I noticed that nearly all of my FLAC files had disappeared from my PC. The file structure consisting of about 444 folders was intact but around 3500 individual FLAC files in them had all gone missing. I restored the files from backup and changed their properties to read only and today Rhythmbox reported over 1000 missing files FLAC and MP3 files. After checking the music folder I found that a GB of FLAC and about 20GB of MP3 files have disappeared. No one uses this computer apart from my daughter and I and neither of us has deleted these files.
I run ubuntu 7.10 and before this I ran 6.06LTS for a while. I have never before lost files like this under 6.06. I have no idea what could be causing this issue and would appreciate any help any I can get.
TIA
Regards, Dev
