[Bug 1063354] Re: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems
Hi, I can confirm Rahul Jain's observation: I am also on Mint 15. I had that problem since Mint 14, then not for a long while and yesterday it appeared again. In my case, I am sure, my Hardware is OK, no smart errors on the SSD, and as this is a notebook, I don't think, there are any pin problems on the connectors. I have noticed, that this problem appears every time, ther's heavy SDD activity, and lots of small data-blocks are beeing encrypted and written/read to the SSD. In particular yesterday I was enabling the calendar caching in my thunderbird lightning calendars. This provoked massive writing and reading operations. An other time that happened was again in thunderbird when I synchronized my 12GB IMAP Mailbox. I just tried to verify my theory about many little files/small data-blocks - I used bonnie++ to write many little files in a very fast manner. Result: same dmesg output, ends in kernel panic... This is a vital problem so a fix needs to be found asap. regards and merry Christmas , Felix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063354 Title: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1063354/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1063354] Re: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems
Just a follow up... My problem is fixed or at least figured out. Although many with this bug have similar log output mine was definitely hardware. SATA hard drives have extremely fragile connectors and the connector to this particular drive with the read only problem was slightly pushed down by another connector. It finally broke the HD plug socket just enough to make a bad connection. It's practically imperceptible until you remove the connector as see the slight movement of the HD plug component. I reconnected the plug and put slight pressure underneath the component, started the computer and it fired right up. The system did a forced fsck and it is working with all data present and permissions corrected. Now I just need to dump all the data to a new HD. This may be an issue for some and not for others but the outcome and the dmesg logs show ata errors on that drive. It would be very easy to miss the breakage since it's a very small variance, and it's bizaar that it causes the read only problem as stated above but nothing else. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063354 Title: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1063354/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1063354] Re: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems
O.K. seems many people still have this problem. The original bug report talks about /var/log/syslog. I think there is another bug that I experience and many other people do too. There is no error in the log files. The system suddenly goes read only without writing anything to the logs. As far as my very limited knowledge of linux goes, that means I should check dmesg when this happens? My work around for this bug has been to switch to cinnamon and never shutdown/reboot unless I really must. I suspend the pc and now the read only filesystem only happens every 2 or 3 months. Then fsck still deletes some files on reboot, usually firefox cache files, sometimes icons and rarely other files. Like movies :( and yes my HDD is perfect. I did read that there is a kernel issue for people who frequently shutdown/reboot their system that causes this issue but I can't find it again. Apparently is was a comment made by one of the kernel developers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063354 Title: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1063354/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hello! Well, recently I upgraded from Kubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 and also started to experience this issue, it just started to happen since I upgraded to 12.10, I never experienced it with Precise Pangolin. About the error message, I don't need to perform a specific task to trigger it, it has happened when I'm working or when I'm just using the web browser alike, and there's not a signal to predict when the error is about occur, and as my computer is my day-to-day working tool, this issue is very frustrating.

[Bug 1063354] Re: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems
This may be related to this bug or it may not, but I will add it to the growing data-stream to try to help. My system 12.04 ubuntu, then mythbuntu was showing exactly the same symptoms as this bug describes. It is a dual boot system with Win8 and ubuntu. Win8 was stable, ubuntu was not. Smart diagnostics were fine at first (hint of where we are going ;-) ) After 6 weeks of chasing the problem with multiple crashes, freezes, etc. I the smart diagnostics started coming up with some bad/suspect sectors. These were scattered around the disc in both the win8 and ubuntu partitions.They continued to grow until the drive failed specification--i.e. a bad drive. I realize that without detailed diagnostics saved all through the process, this is total speculation, but perhaps as a hypothesis/place to look is in the handling of bad/failing sectors on the disc. Throughout the process, win8 never lost stability or data, but parts of the ubuntu would periodically crash due to read errors trying to read those nearly failed, intermittent sectors. I don't know enough (nearly nothing) about the back end of this, but that may be a difference here. I replaced the drive 2 weeks ago and have had no further crashes or freezes (at least at this point). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063354 Title: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1063354/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1063354] Re: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems
Not sure if this will help anyone on this issue, but I just experienced it as well. For my own personal reasons, I have my android build environment on a separate partition. I opened it and decided to do some work on a project and suddenly all my partitions became read only. I found that after a reboot, I was forced to run fsck, but I also found that if I did not try to change anything in my android partition, that this error would not happen. I also noticed that prior to this error, when I tried to compile any of my android projects, my computer would become very slow and seemingly overloaded. So... After a reboot, I ran fsck /dev/sda3 (my android partition)and now I am read only error free, and I am currently compiling a ROM, listening to youtube videos, typing out this reply and have supertuxcart (I love that game...lol) running in the background with no lag.

This problem was plaguing me lately as well on my primary ext4 partition. I first thought the HDD was failing, but I wasn't getting any SMART errors.

I have been following this bug from close to when it was first posted (because I had the same issue myself) and I am now convinced that this has become a gathering place for people who all have different hardware issues which all end up producing the noticable issue of the hard drive going into read-only mode (because the newer kernels seem to be more picky about filesystem errors now?.. which is good thing).

Make sure you have the power cable going directly from the power supply to the back of the HD and also have the SATA cable going directly from the motherboard to back of the HD. (no in-between connectors or hot-swap bracketing) 3. Make sure you have a power supply on your system that is rated at a high enough wattage to handle every card and storage device, etc.. you have connected. 4. Run SMART tests on your affected HD. This means installing smartmontools within Ubuntu and also running tests via your BIOS interface (if your BIOS has that available). This will rule out actual problems with the HD itself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063354 Title: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1063354/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Missed an extra step to take if you are using a SSD... make sure you have the most up-to-date firmware (as mentioned by Mark above in this thread).

I will add my 2 cents if this helps. I am running 12.10 . If I use the 3.3 kernel I never see this problem. With the 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8 kernels my ext4 file system will suddenly become read-only.

Looks like in my case, the issue did end up being hardware.. or 3.5+ kernel fault tolerance.

Some more information that might help isolating this bug. I have a ASUS P5N-D board with a Pentium processor. It was when I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.10 the trouble started. I seldom get past a complete boot in 12.10, it is very unstable. To make the system work, I have to boot with kernel 3.0.0 from 11.10.

[Bug 1063354] Re: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems
I have to imagine this issue is affecting many, many more people. I've tried hundreds of search strings over the past few months on google and this is the first time I ever had a proper hit. Using GoatZilla's errors (the 1-4 post above), I've had all four, but have actually made it past installation- you have to somehow remove the ubiquity-slideshow-*buntu package before installing. Even after that, though, sometimes different packages will fail to install, and the system, when it does actually work, never fully is stable. I've tried numerous different 12.10 variants (currently running xubuntu with the kubuntu packages installed). Using KDE or Gnome over Unity helps alleviate some of the issues, but, as everyone else seems to know, it won't fix them. I thought maybe it was just related to me having an ancient AMD XP2400 based system with the original 80gb SATA 1 drives, but since they don't report errors under any other circumstances EXCEPT after a hiccup or on machines running different OSes, I can kind of rule those out. As also reported, it doesn't really matter what programs are running, the errors/kp's/et cetera are truly random.

Ok, after 2-3 days I had some WRITE FPDMA QUEUED error even with 3.2.34 kernel and 3.2.0 too, but *much less* often.

Confirmed with kernel 3.5.0-20, my motherboard is an old Asus P5K PRO.

[Bug 1063354] Re: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems
Wallo013, I believe there is not a consistent pattern to the issue yet. Read all the posts here and you can see some people not having problems with kernel 3.5.0-17 but do with 3.5.0-18... whereas myself I can't reliably use any 3.5.* kernel it seems. I'm still not convinced that I (and all others posting in this thread) are not just having failing hardware (MB, ram, cabling, HD, connectors, etc..) since the problems reported have so much variation. I recently tried changing my SATA cabling (got high quality 6Gb type) but that didn't help. It is odd that I'm not getting the problem with pre 3.5.* kernels, but maybe I do and just haven't noticed in the logs yet as perhaps older kernels have higher fault tolerance. But what do I know, I'm just taking guesses here. If this is a real bug causing unnoticed and progressive data corruption for everyone, this is indeed HUGE and should be getting top priority.

[Bug 1063354] Re: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems
The consistent pattern is: it happens with 12.10. I spent the last two nights fiddling with this. 1. Sometimes the installer will crash during installation. 2. Sometimes you can make it through the installation, but it won't fully boot (either hangs at starting X/window manager, or grub acts funny). 3. Sometimes you can fully boot, start an update, and the update crashes (and that's where you can see the read-only filesystem message). 4. Sometimes you can make it all the way through the first update, reboot, and the system won't fully boot (looks like it starts to fire up the window manager then it just sits there). I'm running 32-bit with an AMD system and have tried multiple SATA SSD's and cables. I tried just cutting out the SSD and installing/running on a USB flash key, and that alleviates 1-3, but 4 still happens every time. This looks like a filesystem issue; haven't had a chance to try reformatting root with ext3. Kinda dumped enough time on this as is. Finally, I just gave up, went back to 12.04.1, on the exact same hardware, and everything runs perfectly, first shot.

[Bug 1063354] Re: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems
I hit this same issue after upgrading to 12.10, so decided to downgrade back to 12.04 for the time being (both were fresh installs). After a couple of hours running in 12.04 my file-systems have once again gone into a read-only mode running on the stock 3.2.0 kernel used in 12.04 so at least for me it seems as if it's not just limited to the 3.5.0 kernel used in 12.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063354 Title: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1063354/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1063354] Re: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems
Happened again. Seems to happen less using cinnamon rather than unity. I lost the syslog on reboot along with 12 files (1GB) from a single directory I was not using at the time. Usually I only have firefox cache/data and whatever app is open at the time show up as file errors on boot (fsk?) but now it's other files too. ... and yes, My HDD is fine.

[Bug 1063354] Re: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems
I tried 3.5-rc5 and got the problem fairly quickly. Went back to 3.5-rc4 and noticed I was getting ext4 buffer write sda errors in syslog for that as well... so it might be that 3.5-rc4 doesn't actually work for me either, although I haven't had rc4 go into read-only mode at all yet. Since yesterday I've gone to using 3.4. Haven't had any sda errors at all in syslog anymore. I should have been paying attention to my syslog previously already instead of just waiting for the fs to go read-only. Unfortunately, I can't be testing any more of these kernels as I'm slowly getting more and more files getting corrupted.. and this is my home office work computer so I can't allow that. Will stay on 3.4 now. Maybe someone else can test 3.5-rc1 thru 3.5-rc3. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063354 Title: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1063354/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1063354] Re: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems
I just recently found out about the problems with ext4 corruption (as mentioned in http://lwn.net/Articles/521022/ ) and am now wondering if this is all related to that? Except that that bug is only supposed to happen in rare cases, nothing like what I've been seeing. Also don't understand why more people aren't having this issue... is it possible that it is just a failing HD for me as well? I will stay on 3.4 for now and report back here if I see anything suspicious in my syslog at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063354 Title: Sudden Read-Only Filesystems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1063354/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
