Bug ID: 462103
Summary: System can fall asleep/suspend while job is in
progress causing job to fail midway with data loss
potential
Classification: Applications
Product: partitionmanager
Version: 22.08.3
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: andr...@stikonas.eu
Reporter: jelg...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using partition manager to move partitions my device was allowed to
suspend the session and caused the partition move to fail midway, causing my
partition to be an unknown file type that wouldn't show up as the home
partition. Moving the partition back to it's original sectors caused it to be
recognized again as ext4 and my data survived. Other time caused a borked
Manjaro install with no recovery.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start partition manager
2. Use it to move partitions on a disk
3. Let device go past suspend time
4. Device will fail at moving partitions at wherever task it suspended at
OBSERVED RESULT
Device will go into suspend/sleep causing partition job to fail and potentially
losing peoples data
EXPECTED RESULT
Device doesn't go into suspend/sleep before important processes are completed
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.100.0
Qt Version: 5.15.7
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This has happened to me on Neon and Manjaro Live CDs and an Arch Machine while
moving partitions on an external HDD, all of these through the past year. Most
recent was an hour ago on the Live USB Neon.
