GeoServer 1.7.x can randomly eat the data dir
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-2208
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2208
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.7.0-RC2
            Reporter: Andrea Aime
            Assignee: Justin Deoliveira
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 1.7.0-RC3

That happened to me and Arne once. All the coverages and feature types gone, the datastore and coverage stores were still around thought.
This must be fixed, yet there are two things that would make it less fatal and easier to spot
- istead of deleting the info.xml files, rename them to info.xml.bak
- reload the catalog from the files on save, so that you know what's happening when the catalog goes away (instead of realizing that when you restart geoserver)
