Actiu, i don't think this is related to this problem/bugreport. We don't have LVM nor encryption here.
Jamin, do you have any data on this drive? The thing is, badblocks /dev/sda1 does a read-only test. The journal error seems to be happening on write. Could you try (boot from the Live CD) badblocks -nvs /dev/sda1 (non-destructive read-write) Or even badblocks -wvs /dev/sda1 (destructive read-write, THIS WILL ERASE THE WHOLE PARTITON. And will take a long time.) (if you don't care about data loss and want quick results, try this dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=10000 seek=38032000 dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=512 count=10000 skip=38032000 THIS WILL ERASE RANDOM DATA ON THE PARTITION) -- Unable to install using ext4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/512002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
