We have the same problem with a Gutsy (7.10) with two brand new Dell Vostro 1500. sda1 in ext3 (/boot), sda5 in xfs (/) and sda6 swap. We got some file truncations in some libraries on one machine. We did "aptitude reinstall..." of the package and it fixed the situation. After that, the second machine libc6.so was truncated. A "reinstall" did not work and the machine crashed. When I mean truncated, it does not mean zero bytes but smaller than the original file.
We tried to reinstall the two machines in ext3 only, and they seems stable. On one machine, we installed VMWare server version 1 and installed a Gutsy VM with XFS (install from CD). After the last update/upgrade/reboot, the XFS filesystem had some truncation issues. We do not know what cause the problem but it seems to happen quickly after install. The kernel is 2.6.22-14-server. -- Serious problems with XFS immediatelly following clean install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175214 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
