2008-03-03 23:30:14 sibidiba description Binary package hint: acpid I'm running Hardy on a laptop, and today I forgot to umount my external (USB) 500 GB hard-drive before doing a suspend. Now all my data is lost on the single ext3 partition, fsck couldn't recover anything. ;( I attach a patch that syncs as the last step of preparation for suspend/hibernate. I also suggest to umount all file systems on external devices before suspend/hibernate. Binary package hint: acpid I'm running the current Hardy on a laptop, and I noticed upon a data corruption issue that suspend/hibernate does not syncs nor umounts external disks. This may cause file-system corruption. I attach a small patch that syncs as the last step of preparation for suspend/hibernate.

2009-01-07 12:43:06 Loïc Minier acpid: statusexplanation Most comments here allude to the FS not being "sync"-ed; however /usr/lib/pm-utils/bin/pm-action (pm-suspend) in pm-utils does sync. I'm reassigning to pm-utils for now, but I rather suspect that this is a driver/hardware issue as we got a relatively low number of such reports. These logs also point at drivers/hardware issues rather than userspace issues: Mar 3 09:46:43 Kamorka kernel: [40226.138935] Buffer I/O error on device sdb2, logical block 1545 Mar 3 09:46:43 Kamorka kernel: [40226.138941] lost page write due to I/O error on sdb2
