Comment (by Giova84):
Replying to [comment:5 mmlr]:
In such cases it is always interesting to figure out where the
corruption is actually happening as there are numerous layers involved.
Here's a couple of things you could try to narrow things down
Unfortunately (but fortunately for my computer ) I immediately recovered
my files from the weekly backup, after the corruption. So for now I can't
do a detailed inspection and I don't have a specific syslog.
But I remember some details, however:
Point 2:
The corruption seemed patterned on both files (the bash script and the
plain text file);
in both files there was just a portion of corruption, represented by
strange/ASCII characters;
since the corruption was partial inside these files, there was still
readable text (and I remember, especially in the bash script), that the
corruption was present in a certain portion of the script: it affected a
portion which is repeated various times in this bash script: but just one
of these portions has been corrupted).
Point 3:
The corruption of such files persisted after a reboot.
However you mention, maybe, something of interesting: a driver/component
that may be overwriting memory.
When the corruption has occured, I was playing with a driver: the modified
HDA driver which Pete Goodeve sent me about two years ago: its modified
driver is provided with a setting file (hda.settings) which allows to set
the buffer size to reduce the audio latency: when I change the value in
the hda.settings file, I also restart the media_server: I often play with
this setting, but this was the first time that I noticed the data
corruption (to make a test I also attempted to change continuosly the
setting file, various time, one hour ago: but I didn't noticed again the
data corruption).
However, to exclude the possibility mentioned by ttcoder, I blacklisted
StyledEdit.
I will keep you updated with more infos if/when a corruption will occur
again.
