There are several bugs, not just one.
1. When fschk checks FAT/FAT32 partititions, it tries to fix non-existant
errors. I claims that many files are cross-linked and fixes them by
truncating them. Thus, it destroys the correct files!!!
2. There is no EASY way for the user to stop/disable this che
The only way to fix the problem by users is:
1. Boot Knoppix Live CD and manually edit Ubuntu/Kubuntu the /etc/fstab
file.
For each FAT entry in fstab, replace '1' in column 6 with a '0'
2. Save the modified fstab*
Then Kubuntu/Ubuntu no longer checks FAT32 partions and does not destroy
them!

I originally installed Ubuntu and then upgraded to Breezy via update
manager. In my original install, my fat drivers were marked 0 0 (ie. don't
check) in fstab and I didn't modify them. Some also said on IRC that they
thought this was fixed before (I forget the handle, sorry).

I forgot to also mention that upgrading via the update manager did not
modify my fstab either, so the issue must be how fstab is generated in
breezy's installer?
