I wonder if this is semi-random corruption related to Bug #96715? I've uninstalled evms and the swap space problem has gone away. Juho, when you do:
cat /proc/swaps do you see the same partition used twice (once via /dev/mapper)? This bug is probably going to be very hard to debug... so this is a wild guess... but repeatable corruption has to be coming from somewhere. So I'm wondering if it happens when swapoff interacts with something else? Let's trawl through swap space for the above junk (which I have now seen several times): $ sudo dd if=/dev/sda2 | hexdump -C | grep '0(p' 01f35000 00 22 00 30 28 70 00 00 01 27 2d 4b 00 00 05 03 |.".0(p...'-K....| Apart from the non-printables, that looks familiar! Now, change the grep to less and browsing backwards, the previous non- NUL item in swap is: 01f34000 50 52 4f 47 52 45 53 53 5f 53 54 41 54 45 3d 33 |PROGRESS_STATE=3| That is *way* too much of a coincidence. There's obviously something weird happening with swap... I wonder if you have the double-swap issue and if the file corruption goes away completely if you resolve the double-swap issue? -- /dev/.initramfs/progress_state is corrupted at shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121165 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
