In an effort to KISS and minimize regression testing, I reported a 100% repeatable bug. In my haste, I failed to indicate that the source iso used burn the LiveCD was the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 12.10 which was recently released to the public. After running the installation under the Try Ubuntu path, I performed a shutdown followed by a reboot of an alternate version (12.04) of Ubuntu. A fsck -vf of the recently installed (12.10) indicated problems and I followed the prompts to repair the Ext4 file system.
Acronis True Image Home 2013 was used to create an image which could be restored quickly. To create the problem, I booted (12.10), logged in, waited a while (sometimes a few minutes) and then performed a shutdown followed by a reboot of an alternate version (12.04) of Ubuntu. A fsck -vf of the recently installed (12.10) indicated problems and I followed the prompts to repair the Ext4 file system. It would seem to me that critical data can be obtained from a 100% repeatable problem in a "known" environment. The symptoms might be masked in a different version of the kernel although the problem still exists. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1073433 Title: Ext4 corruption associated with shutdown of Ubuntu 12.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1073433/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
