apport information
** Tags added: apport-collected package-from-proposed
** Description changed:
take a 12.10 with XFS root partition containing the /boot/ tree
dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc ; sync
reboot (either by command, or by menu)
diverse error messages + grub rescue + /boot/ is partially accessible
boot UBUNTU 12.10 pendrive + choose "try Ubuntu" + open a terminal
sudo -s; mkdir foo; mount [the XFS root partition] foo; umount foo
reboot into the "original" Ubuntu is NOW successful
- It appears that the kernel xfs filesystem driver leaves the fs in an
- inconsistent state even after a sync. That is corrected by a journal
- playback done either via having the kernel mount or running fsck, but
- grub does not use the xfs journal.
