Package: uswsusp Version: 0.3~cvs20060928-6 Severity: critical Justification: causes serious data loss
Hi, uswsusp just tried to resume a previous session even though the system was booted and filesystems remounted in the meantime. I usually don't use initrd/initramfs, so I tried to create an initramfs for my custom kernel running a plain "mkinitramfs", placing the result in /boot/initrd-`uname -r` and creating an entry in grub's menu.lst. However, uswsusp didn't work with that (possibly because initramfs didn't get loaded at all), so I installed a Debian kernel to try out uswsusp. After that, approximate steps to reproduce: - boot Debian's 2.6.18-3-686 - s2disk - power up the machine - boot up a custom 2.6.17.11 kernel (possibly any other kernel with no support for uswsusp) ... ext3 journals get replayed, filesystems mounted rw, the system goes up normally like after a power loss - reboot - boot 2.6.18-3-686 again ... the suspended image is detected and uswsusp tries to resume. At this point I frantically pushed the power button and didn't wait for possible checks done after image is loaded. If there are any checks on eg. last mount times and mount counts of filesystems that were in use, that are done _after_ the image is loaded, the bug can be downgraded. If there are not, there should be. ;-) As it is now, I think this subsystem is not robust enough to be included in etch.
