Public bug reported: Hello, thank you for helping me with this.
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Release: 14.04 I installed Ubuntu 14.04 via pxeboot on the same machine two times. The root files system got corrupted both times after reboot, requiring a new install. For both install attempts I used LVM. The third time I installed the OS without LVM. Using fdisk -l, I noticed the following: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 968415231 484206592 83 Linux /dev/sda2 968417278 976771071 4176897 5 Extended Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary. /dev/sda5 968417280 976771071 4176896 82 Linux swap / Solaris I ran fdisk /dev/sda to realign partition boundaries. Partition boundary misalignment during installation may be cause for files system corruption. So far no problems with the partitions and filesystem. ** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1480710 Title: partition error causes filesystem corruption To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1480710/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
