Linux file system collapsed but disk is fine, possible case of a hack
As I have explained here. My ubuntu partitions have been corrupted but my windows partitions are as perfect as they should be. Through various HDD tests, (mostly SMART tests through smartctl), the HDD is found to be perfectly fine. The good folks in LinuxQueustions suggested that it might be a possible case of a hack.
So, before I format those partitions and reinstall Ubuntu. I wanted to know the actual cause and measures to avoid it in the near future (since, I cannot recover the partitions) if it really is a hack
