Public bug reported: [Impact]
* A regression was identified in the backup & restore patch on some architectures, which results in garbage filenames to be created in /boot/grub. The issue is reported on linux-ext4 mailing list https://marc.info/?l =linux-ext4&m=160709231522785&w=2 [Test Case] * Execute grub-install --target pc-i386 on i386 machine against a nonexistent drive. Such that, backup & restore is triggered. * Observe that the restored modules names in /boot/grub do not have garbage file endings. [Where problems could occur] * The generated garbage file endings will remain on disk across future upgrade and will need to be cleaned up manually. I am pondering if I can clean them up somehow automatically. However the scope of the affected machines should be very small and limited to i386. [Other Info] * Reported on linux-ext4 mailing list & debugged by / patch provided by colin watson. ** Affects: grub2 (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/1907085 Title: Regression in backup-and-restore patch.
