[Bug 1085766] Re: /var/log/upstart/ureadahead.log contains garbage

[Dominic Raferd]

I have this too with Xenial. Looking at yesterday's syslog:

$ sudo grep -c "Ignored relative path" /var/log/syslog.1
19728

and here are the first few lines:

$ sudo grep -m30 ureadahead /var/log/syslog.1

Title:
  /var/log/upstart/ureadahead.log contains garbage

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ureadahead package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After an upgrade to Raring (as of today) from Quantal I'm seeing tons
  of these in /var/log/upstart/ureadahead.log:

  Counted 8 CPUs

  ureadahead:  ��&����a��w: Ignored relative path
  ureadahead:  : Ignored relative path
  ureadahead:  �=%���n�T9: Ignored relative path
  ureadahead:  �=%����v9T9: Ignored relative path
  ureadahead:  �=%���U�Ek�: Ignored relative path
  ureadahead:  �=%���`�a: Ignored relative path

  
  (the boot was wonderfully fast - not sure if that's because ureadahead was working well or if it's because it didn't do anything).
