Public bug reported: 1) Release: Freshly upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 via GUI Update Manager 2) Package version: Unknown package 3) Expected: system to boot normally immediately after upgrade, as it always did before the upgrade 4) What happened: Quoting from my posts on ubuntuforums.org on this topic: "/boot is on its own ext2 partition / is on a 3-disk raid5, md0, xfs /home is on a 3-disk raid5, md1, xfs (same 3 disks, different member partitions) swap partitions on each of the same 3 disks I have a fourth disk with a couple partitions acting as hot spares for md0 and md1
When I try to boot the system normally from the hdd, I get a maintenance shell and some errors, all indicating that / is read-only. It tells me to manually check my fs for errors, but 'xfs_repair -d /dev/md0' fails. 'xfs_repair -L /dev/md0' should kill the fs jounral, but that also fails. 'mount -o remount,rw /' gives some error (I don't have access to this machine at the moment), and / is still mounted ro. If I do a 'mount' it shows that / is mounted rw, probably because mtab is not writable. 'cat /proc/mdstat' shows that my raids are healthy. So unable to get past my maintenance shell, I saved dmesg to a writable partition and booted from a live cd. I used 'mdadm -A /dev/md0' to assemble my array and then ran 'xfs_repair -d /dev/md0'. It made some repairs, I rebooted from the hdd, but / is still ro. I go back to the live cd, assemble the array, and rerun 'xfs_repair -d /dev/md0' but no errors this time. I try 'xfs_repair -L /dev/md0' to kill the journal, reboot from the hdd, and still / is ro." lspci -vvnn is here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14057715/lspci partial dmesg and other related info is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6280024&postcount=2 db ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- / partition is read-only after upgrading 8.04 -> 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304298 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
