I believe I am running into a variant of this same problem. I installed 7.10 on a USB drive and it works great when using just the live CD mode. When I use persistence (second partition is ext2) it works great the first time I boot and then it steadily degrades after that. In one case, I had a corrupted /etc/sudoers file and when I looked at this on another machine the file had the contents of mtab stuffed right into the middle of it. In other cases it has blown up the X configuration so that X cannot start.
No matter how bad the persistent mode boot gets, it wall always boot fine in "live" mode. If I do an fsck on the casper-rw drive, I get lots of errors after a reboot. If I fix the errors and then delete everything on the casper- rew drive, it will boot again fine in "persistent" mode though obviously that's not very persistent. I've also tried 'sync' before a shutdown of the system but that doesn't seem to help. I also tried doing a suspend and unsuspend and that seemed to work fine with no corruption. -- failure to umount local filesystems - gutsy tribe 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/125702 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
