retitle 317479 hibernate does not play well with XFS /boot thanks also sprach Cameron Patrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2005.07.09.0550 +0200]: > > title WARNING: Linux 2.6.12-wing is suspended via Software Suspend!" > > Does getting rid of the trailing quote on the second title line help?
Oh, that issue. No, it does not fix it, but it's a separate bug. No, this time round it's really weird. If I suspend, the grub prompt is shown. If I reboot normally, the menu is shown. I once rebooted shortly after the kernel started loading after seeing the prompt and then got the menu. Thus I think something must be happening at the early stages of initialisation which makes grub work on subsequent reboots. Here's another peculiarity: In the grub prompt, I can cat /grub/menu.lst.working (that's a backup copy), but when I do cat /grub/menu.lst I get: Error 2: Bad file or directory type "This error is returned if a file requested is not a regular file, but something like a symbolic link, directory, or FIFO." But I cannot determine what the problem is. Booting off a CD and mounting the /boot filesystem shows a normal file. And now I found something even more interesting. This is probably the same as #246111 and all the merged blocks. My /boot is an XFS filesystem, and menu.lst does not get committed in time. If I repair a filesystem dump: wing:/tmp# xfs_repair -L part1 [...] imap claims in-use inode 136 is free, correcting imap [...] entry "menu.lst" at block 0 offset 1608 in directory inode 132 references free inode 156 clearing inode number in entry at offset 1608... [...] disconnected inode 136, moving to lost+found [...] you can guess what inode 136 holds... menu.lst. I don't know of a fix to this problem, but I have contacted the XFS mailing list about it. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer and author: http://debiansystem.info `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
