[Bug 50275] Critical: XFS corruption during suspend-to-RAM

[Sebastian Kapfer]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.15


Laptop (IBM R40) with installation of dapper current as of 2006-06-19

Root filesystem is XFS on internal IDE (hda2), details below

Steps to reproduce:

1. Put laptop to sleep in GNOME session (special function keys on the laptop)
2. Resume
3. FS is corrupted. The system may freeze suddenly. Verify by rebooting to single-user, run xfs_check.
4. Running xfs_repair kills a few dozen files which were not being written to (including gnomevfs libs, evolution binaries...) but which obviously were in memory. Critical things like "sed" may also disappear, causing initscripts to fail at next boot.

The system is fine when not being suspended but properly shut down.
Suspending worked fine for months in breezy. I did not test suspending in the dapper development versions because I wasn't using the laptop much then.

Sorry for the vague report. I am happy to provide further input if there
are any questions.
