Если вы являетесь пользователем Linux и Windows 10, установленных на одном жёстком диске, вам стоит серьёзно задуматься над необходимостью обновления операционной системы из Рэдмонда. Сразу после выхода годового обновления к Windows 10 в Сети стали появляться жалобы на то, что после его установки невозможно загрузить Linux, а все данные с Linux разделов оказывались удалены. Данные заявления были подтверждены менеджером сообщества Ubuntu Аланом Поупом, который опубликовал предупреждение:

---

«Видны множественные сообщения о том, что Windows 10 Anniversary Update удаляет другие разделы (содержащие установленную Linux) без запроса. :S»

Другой пользователь Twitter с ником H5S заявил, что обновление удалило всё на не-Windows дисках без запроса разрешения:

«Гррр. Когда я установил Windows 10 она удалила всё на моих других дисках без запроса».

Очевидно, что этих заявлений вполне достаточно, чтобы заставить всех пользователей Linux и Windows в двойной загрузке дважды подумать, прежде чем обновлять систему Microsoft.

Linux Users Reporting Windows 10 Anniversary Update Hoses Their Dual Boot Partitions

If you're a Linux user who happens to dual-boot with Windows, you should exercise extreme caution when upgrading to the just-released Windows 10 Anniversary Update. Not long after Microsoft's latest release, reports began to hit the Web concerning issues of hard drives having their data deleted. The issue has proven to have enough credence to push Ubuntu's Community Manager Alan Pope to shoot out a warning:

Another Twitter user says that the upgrade deleted everything on their non-Windows drives (we're not sure how many there were) without asking:

Aggggh. When I installed Windows 10 it deleted everything on my other drives without asking

Clearly, this is enough to cause anyone dual-booting Linux to think twice about upgrading. It also highlights the fact that backups are extremely important before upgrading an OS - especially Windows, as Microsoft has never held competing partition formats in high regard.

So, what on Earth is going on here? We're not entirely sure at this point, but we do have a couple of theories. The first is that Microsoft might not actually be deleting the hard drive data, but instead is corrupting their partition tables. In that event, a tool like TestDisk might be able to be used to help recover the data.



A tool like TestDisk might be able to help you recover lost data

If data truly is deleted, TestDisk still might be able to offer assistance, or any recovery tool that fully supports the Linux filesystem that was being used (eg: ext4).

What's unclear at this point is whether or not this update can affect hard drives other than the boot drive. By all appearances, the main risk is if you are dual-booting both OSes on a single drive. What could also happen is that the boot-loader (eg: GRUB) could be overwritten during the update, which will require users to boot into a live Linux environment to re-write GRUB (or another boot-loader) to the drive again, allowing them to then reboot and actually access their Linux install again.

If more important details trickle out, we'll update you. In the meantime, if you are a user who installs Linux and Windows on the same drive, we'd recommend staying away from upgrading right now, until more confirmed failures or successes come out. And always, always backup your drive before upgrading. This issue proves that not every upgrade will go as smoothly as it should.
