2024-04-10 Thread Chris Siebenmann
I think I know what is happening here. In Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04, the grub-pc.postinst has a chunk of code that was designed to deal with bug #1889556 by skipping running grub-install on package updates. The initial commit comment by Steve Langasek says: debian/postinst.in: Avoid calling

I didn't change grub-pc/install-devices, and on our 22.04 BIOS MBR + mirrored software RAID servers (of which we have a lot), it has the same value (or the same sort of value, naming the md device). A random 22.04 server install is also using 'super 1.2' for its root /dev/md0 device superblock

The RAID is on partitions, but there is no LVM involved. The layout was set up through the 24.04 server installer with custom storage layout, selecting both disks as boot disks, and then using all of their space as a single partition for the software RAID. The software RAID itself is

Based on inspecting the ZFS source code, this looks like a ZFS inode where there is a mismatch between the claimed size of the inode's (ZFS) ACL and how it's stored. If you're willing to do some work, it might be possible to narrow this down to identify a specific inode and what's wrong with it,

In 16.04 (and I think everywhere), /sys is sysfs, so its contents are generated by the kernel, device drivers, and so on. Udev looks at sysfs in order to determine device information (eg ATA port number) that it uses to create everything else. How hardware is represented in sysfs can change over

When this happened to us during a mysql-server upgrade, the root cause is that we had mysql (the server) disabled, ie 'systemctl disable mysql'. When you do this, 'invoke-rc.d mysql start' winds up doing nothing and not starting the server, which causes mysql_upgrade to fail because it requires a

Not all aspects of this PAM failure can be fixed easily, since daemons other than cron were also affected. Cron can be restarted without user impact, but something like xdm cannot be. (Since we got hurt by the xdm issue, not by the cron issue, I am rather sensitive about this.) I personally
