Please close. I discovered that my laptop was ventilating poorly and CPU core temps were reaching 90C and higher (!). Hangs were always preceded by temperature peaks. I opened the laptop, cleaned the fan and vent ingress, and now use cpu freq scaling more conservatively. I have not observed additional hanging. I'm left to conclude (with lots of hand waving) that file corruption is real but occurs only with an overheated system.
This same system ran jaunty previously without trouble. Therefore I wonder if there's a problem with karmic kernel trip point defaults (CPU0 is 256C!) or with freq scaling. I'm not using powersaved. -- file corruption with unrelated data after crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/509938 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
