Title:
  /var/lib/ureadahead/ using up all disk space (many GB)

Status in “ureadahead” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Every month or so my system informs me my root partition is full.
  When I check the status via "df -h"  it shows "/var/lib/ureadahead/"
  as taking up several GB of disk space.  Running fsck seems to solve
  the issue temporarily, but it's inconvenient to run, as I have to
  unmount my root partition.

  My system is fully patched and up-to-date.
