Recently, one of my client's computer (Ubuntu 10.10) refused to boot. Instead of booting the operating system it fell down to grub rescue prompt. This indicated that grub could not find its configuration file and it meant the partition table was corrupted :(. Fortunately, I finally succeeded repairing the system. What I learned from this experience is that ext file system is such a wonderful system which enabling partition recovery.
