Did some testing. Installed Xubuntu 18.04 twice today on an NVme. In both cases, ureadahead messages appeared all over the place in the system log.
When I did this under Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop prior, I had over 250,000 lines of noise. This all works great on the first installation. But after rebooting, all hell breaks loose. I wiped out everything and installed Debian 9.5. I have not seen any system log messages because Debian doesn't even run its implementation (called readahead). They got rid of it back in 2015: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796205 What's more important though, is that this bug slid by Q/A staff. I suggest that Canonical Q/A does a clean wipe of their drives and partitions before smoke tests. Then, run their tests and check the system log to see if any problems exist after their runs. This bug should not have been caught by users. It should have been caught by internal Q/A staff. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #796205 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796205 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579580 Title: ureadahead reports relative path errors in journalctl output To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ureadahead/+bug/1579580/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
