In that discovery, it has been shown that survival with all your information intact occurs when any Linux user drops a folder/file whose data would also contain links on that filesystem. This ability in Linux works!
Something additional is surfacing from membership who use PCs which they boot both Windows and Linux. Filesystem flagging and a need for Windows to correct the flagging sometimes occur.
And, in doing so, it has caused some concerns of whether Linux is the culprit. I think the consensus is that Linux actions DO NOT cause filesystem flaggings and certainly does not cause filesystem corruptions. If Linux is not the culprit when it is running reading and writing data as it does, @Ted Dog is requesting information on those causes of ANY of those filesystem repairs that are needed in Windows.
Most of us Windows users (perhaps all Windows users) know that if the Windows OS is not normally shutdown, that upon restart, Windows will detect such and will, typically force, a chkdsk as it starts it boots processing. Windows is built with this intelligence.
But, in Linux, I wonder if the same kind of open handles occur when Linux is not normally shutdown? And, if Linux detects such and repairs ext2/ext3/ext4 when it reboots?
@Ted Dog asks a very good question on this subject.
