Interesting discovery: I reinstalled and told the installer to make a swap partition. As expected the bug did not occur when I booted.
Next I deleted the swap partition with fdisk and rebooted. This caused systemd to wait for 1 minute 30 seconds during boot. The bug did not happen. Next I removed the swap partition definition from /etc/fstab and rebooted. systemd did not wait during boot, and the bug happened. Therefore this looks like a race condition. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1615363 Title: (Virtualbox) Installing with no swap partition results in corrupted system, despite having high RAM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1615363/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
