Description Joe Mulloy 2009-04-14 21:54:32 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

KDE configuration files end up truncated after an unclean unmount on a file system that uses delayed allocation, such as ext4. Ext4 has been patched to mitigate this issue, but it should still be investigated and fixed.
