Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help to improve Ubuntu.
This is not a bug in acpi-support, but a fundamental detail of how suspend works on USB. Because the USB is powered down in S3 mode, when the kernel comes up again the USB is rescanned and the drive comes up with a completely new ID - with the original pointers of the filesystem still pointing to a structure which is no longer present. The correct solution here is that we should disallow suspend to RAM at all when the root partition (and possibly any of several key filesystems) is on USB. Reassigning to pm-utils. ** Changed in: pm-utils (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: acpi-support => pm-utils Importance: High => Undecided Status: New => Confirmed -- Apple MacBook running Hardy on USB disk resumes from standby with corrupted file system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207947 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
