[Bug 1088185] Re: kernel hangs on boot with btrfs

 

There is no more information than what I can add here. I installed
Ubuntu ver. 12.04LTS (Precise Pangolin) about a week ago
(1-August-2013). I used the BTRFS file system. On first re-boot after
installation, I was offered 3 choices:

(S)kip -- (I)gnore -- (M)ount Manually.

Selecting skip hung the boot and the OS never loaded.

Selecting the IGNORE for both / and /home (those word or characters do
appear on-screen) loads the OS and I have a working computer. Since this
problem is at boot time, I believe that the Launchpad Reporting tool-
mechanism isn't able to report as it's not loaded.

I am in the habit of closing all the open files, directory folders and
applications (e.g., Firefox), before I issue the shutdown command. When
the shutdown is issued, the OS seems to unwind itself very quickly - a
few seconds only - but the power does not shut down. I have to press the
power button a few seconds and the computer is then turned off. I have
been doing this about 8 days or so and have not seen another problem. I
backup daily.

If you have questions post them to me. I can try to find the kernel.log
or whatever, but I don't know where to look or how much to post without
your help.

Title:
  kernel hangs on boot with btrfs

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since kernel 3.5.0-17-generic was installed on my system, I had
  trouble with booting into my system, only 1 of 10 times it bootet
  correctly.

  I had tried to understand the problem and got mislead to the wifi-
  drivers, but instead it was the btrfs-driver which had problems with
  the root partition beeing btrfs. I had to hard reset my system several
  times and ended in complete data loss as the btrfs got corruptet
  later.

  I changed root partition to ext4 now, but I think that bug is
  interesting to you guys.
