| |
Yesterday I booted my laptop to 2.6.13-rc2-mm1, suspended to swsusp, and then resumed. It ran fine overnight, including a fair amount of IO (running firefox, rsyncing ~/Mail/archive from my mail server, hg pull, etc). This morning I did a swsusp:
echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk echo disk > /sys/power/state
and got a panic along the lines of "Unable to find swap space, try swapon -a". Unfortunately I was in a hurry and didn't record the error messages. I powered off, then a few minutes later powered on again.
At this point, it resumed *to the swsusp state from yesterday*! As soon as I realized what had happened, I powered off (not shutdown) and rebooted.
On the next boot it did not find a swsusp signature and booted normally; ext3 did a normal recovery and seemed OK, but I was suspicious and did a fsck -f, which revealed a lot of damage; most of the damage seemed to be in the hg repo which had been pulled from www.kernel.org/hg/.
It's extremely unfortunate that there is *any* failure mode in swsusp that can result in this behavior.
I will try to reproduce, but I'm curious if anyone else has seen this.
