[Bug 1579580] Re: ureadahead reports relative path errors in journalctl output

[Kerry Kobashi]

Did some testing. Installed Xubuntu 18.04 twice today on an NVme. In
both cases, ureadahead messages appeared all over the place in the
system log.

When I did this under Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop prior, I had over 250,000
lines of noise. This all works great on the first installation. But
after rebooting, all hell breaks loose.

I wiped out everything and installed Debian 9.5. I have not seen any
system log messages because Debian doesn't even run its implementation
(called readahead). They got rid of it back in 2015:

What's more important though, is that this bug slid by Q/A staff. I
suggest that Canonical Q/A does a clean wipe of their drives and
partitions before smoke tests. Then, run their tests and check the
system log to see if any problems exist after their runs.

This bug should not have been caught by users. It should have been
caught by internal Q/A staff.
