Public bug reported:

I am not sure how precisely can I describe it; although it surely looks
important.

I mount my fat32 partition as (from /etc/fstab)
# /dev/hda3
UUID=4449-3C88  /media/hda3     vfat    defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1

I have a link (ln -s) to a subdirectory in this partition  where I tried
downloading some bittorrent using Deluge.

I downloaded parts of some file.
On reboot, some download started from 0%. To preclude a possible nature of 
Deluge or a bittorrent client behavior possibility, next time I made another 
directory there and copied some downloaded files. 

On another reboot; subdirectories are lost. and there are numerous
fsck###.rec files generated in that directory, which I do not know how
to use to recover etc.

Coming to think of it, Its not related to bittorrent. I had lost more
data on my vfat partition when written from Ubuntu. I had not problem so
far doing it from my FedoraCore system writing in that partition.
