[Bug 1788321] Re: swapon failed: invalid argument

2018-10-26 Thread WIll Salmon
Like John Shipp, we are on Debian 9.4 32-bit (on VMware) and still have
this issue on the latest kernel: 4.9.0-8-686-pae #1 SMP Debian
4.9.110-3+deb9u6 (2018-10-08)

Message in syslog is :
 swapon: /dev/sdb1: swapon failed: Invalid argument

To work round it, I've pinned kernel at 4.9.0-7 on production VMs with
an apt/preferences.d/ file. - see also Debian bug #907175

Cheers

[Bug 1322897] Re: syslog spam Failed to get vmstats.

2015-06-05 Thread WIll Salmon
I have just installed open-vm-tools-lts-trusty version:
2:9.4.0-1280544-5ubuntu6~precise2  in place of an out-of-date version of
VMware Tools and everything seems to be working fine except for these
syslog messages every 30 seconds :

"vmsvc[]: [ warning] [guestinfo] Failed to get vmstats."

Can anyone tell me if this bug matters? 
Is it just annoying messages in syslog or is something really not working?
What do the syslog messages really mean?

Could this fix PLEASE be added to trusty as we're not permitted to use
personal packages archives as an O/S code source?

2015-06-09 Thread WIll Salmon
Thanks. At least it's useful to know that the message can be ignored as
it comes out EVERY 30 SECONDS (not every 30 min) !!

I found that the suggested rsyslog /etc/rsyslog.d/40-discard.conf did
not work (on Ubuntu 12.04.5 with Trusty kernel and rsyslog version
5.8.6-1ubuntu8.9), so I used the file below instead - see :
http://www.rsyslog.com/discarding-unwanted-messages/

# Discard unwanted message from vmtoolsd
# Ubuntu open-vm-tools-lts-trusty has bug that writes message every 30sec:
# "vmsvc[1070]: [ warning] [guestinfo] Failed to get vmstats."
#
# See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1322897
#
:msg, contains, "[ warning] [guestinfo] Failed to get vmstats." ~

[Bug 1478539] [NEW] pci ... address space collision: conflicts with ACPI PM1a_EVT_BLK

2015-07-27 Thread WIll Salmon
Public bug reported:

On booting the latest Ubuntu Trusty kernel linux-image-3.13.0-58-generic
(#97~precise1-Ubuntu) - I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.5 - I get this error in
/var/log/kern.log (& syslog) :

pci :00:07.3: address space collision: [io  0x1000-0x103f] conflicts
with ACPI PM1a_EVT_BLK [??? 0x1000-0x1003 flags 0x8000]

Does this matter?
Looks like it COULD cause trouble. Would it ?
To be on the safe side I've gone back to 3.13.0-57 ( #95~precise1-Ubuntu )

Running Ubuntu 12.04.5 on VMware

[Bug 1478539] Re: pci ... address space collision: conflicts with ACPI PM1a_EVT_BLK

2015-07-28 Thread WIll Salmon
I have tried to run sudo apport-collect 1478539 from an ssh terminal
(these VMs are headless servers and have no desktop) and a character
based window appears where I need to login to Ubuntu One but the field
for my e-mail will not let me type into it !

Can you advise what I need to do to get you the info. you need ?

Please note the VM seemed to run OK with kernel 3.13.0-58

I just need advice about the kernel messages (pci :00:07.3: address space 
collision and what they mean (see below).  
I've spotted another message (see below)

Jul 23 14:24:33 shieldvstident kernel: [0.354607] pci :00:07.3: address 
space collision: [io  0x1000-0x103f] conflicts with ACPI PM1a_EVT_BLK [??? 
0x1000-0x1003 flags 0x8000]
Jul 23 14:24:33 shieldvstident kernel: [0.354841] pci :00:07.3: quirk: 
[io  0x1040-0x104f] claimed by PIIX4 SMB

They also occur with kernel 3.13.0-59 which has been arrived today.

Thanks

2015-07-29 Thread WIll Salmon
Thanks. I'll look into trying this on a test VM and let you know the
outcome.

Do I just download these "mainline" kernel files using wget :-
linux-image-4.2.0-*generic*rc4201507271733_i386.deb
and corresponding linux-headers-*  ?

and then follow instructions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds to install ?

The affected VMs are headless web servers, running on VMware.

wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds says I need to uninstall "select
proprietary or out-of-tree modules"

Would this mean I need to uninstall VMware Tools on the chosen VM first ?
It seems to put modules into the kernel with depmod.

Thanks for your help

[Bug 1478539] Re: pci ... address space collision: conflicts with ACPI PM1a_EVT_BLK

2015-09-25 Thread WIll Salmon
This bug APPEARS to have been fixed in the latest Ubuntu trusty kernel
Linux version 3.13.0-63-generic

So instead of the error:
pci :00:07.3: address space collision: [io  0x1000-0x103f] conflicts with 
ACPI PM1a_EVT_BLK

we now get this message :
pci :00:07.3: quirk: [io  0x1000-0x103f] claimed by PIIX4 ACPI
pci :00:07.3: quirk: [io  0x1040-0x104f] claimed by PIIX4 SMB

Could someone please confirm what the original "address space collision" 
message meant and that the latest kernel HAS fixed it
Thanks for your help
Will

[Bug 974374] Re: Error on unmounting a NFSv4 share

2016-01-14 Thread WIll Salmon
We get this problem on servers 12.04.5 running Trusty kernel
3.13.0-65-generic (and on 12.04.4 running Quantal kernel 3.5.0-54 )

/etc/fstab has a slash at the start of the NFS server path

/proc/mounts has an unnecessary extra "/" on the NFS path: like this :-

nfs-server://home/users /export/home/nfshomes nfs4 .

whereas  /etc/mtab correctly does not ...

nfs-server:/home/users /export/home/nfshomes

This is a nasty bug in a basic utility (umount.nfs) and really should be
fixed !!

Two identical error messages on trying to umount an NFS mount as follows :
/export/home/nfshomes was not found in /proc/mounts
/export/home/nfshomes was not found in /proc/mounts
