Public bug reported: Hello all,
I think the bug I'm facing now is a regression of an older bug. Short summary and system description: Ubuntu 32bit 8.10, 4gb Ram, linux-server kernel image 2.6.27.11 (because of PAE support to see all RAM). Partitions are like this: 3aware hardware RAID card - 2 x HDD 1 TB (RAID-1 hardware); LVM on top of this for snapshot functionality Partitions: /boot LVM: / - reiserfs /home - xfs /storage - xfs swap What I was doing when I noticed the bug: - copying files from the older hard-drives to the new setup Output you will find in the attached logs (from dmesg).
