to a couple of others using the x86_64 Live Workstation image. They
all suffer from intermittent losses of bash history. When the machines
are booted or rebooted, more than half the times, there are commands
missing from .bash_history files. It's not only that the previous
sessions have not been appended to the files, entire portions of the
files are wiped on occasion, e.g. history files that were more than
2000 lines long are now reduced to just a couple of commands.
I see something similar, but without rebooting, just by opening and
closing shells. A lot of the history is suddenly missing, even in
running shells (probably because it is re-read from disk, and something
goes wrong with the merging).
