Oh... after all your comments the things making more sans. Now i see the
corruption happened probably before i found it. I'll assume this was after last
fsck, so like two or three week ago.
Thirst of all i need to say, my primer testing targets are intel graphic, acpi
and ath9k (wifi). Other bugs will be mostly skipped.
Like i said this bug was mixed with other ubuntu karmik bug which made it more
complicated to find real when was this bug introduced.
The karmik bug was introduced in alpha ~2 - it will fail to boot on fsck.
Normally i did "fsck /root" or "mount -o remount,ro && fsck".
With kernel 2.6.32-rc1 i needed to bisect some intel graphic issue so i tested
most version between 2.6.32-rc1 and 2.6.31.. some where shortly after
2.6.32-rc1 i get oops on of ext4, so i skipped testing till short after
2.6.32-rc2 (this is proboly the time where real corruption was). With
~2.6.32-rc3 e get oops on ~scsi when i tried to fdisk usbstick. While i needed
to make this usbstick work, i rebooted (not reseted) and started with "stable"
2.6.31-ubuntu-13. This time i get same problem - PC wont boot, need to fsck
(looks like karmik fsck issue but it isn't ... with message "bla bla
/forcefsck" this was new for me), it didn't worked. remount,ro didt't worked
too, reason /etc/mtab corrupted. cat /etc/mtab show only random trash in it. I
started 2.6.31-ubuntu-13 to initrd and mount root manually in ro, run fsck -f
-y /root returned a lot of messages like file1 and file2 use same sector and
removing file3 bla bla... lostandfound... After reboot the system worked again,
to find what files was lost i run debsums. I showed some packages which was
installed one week before was broken. After i reinstalled broken packages seems
like system work stable.
Now, after i "systematically" trying to analise this, noticed that all my
broken laptops used max 2.6.32-rc1 before die. Probably my major testing pc get
corrupted at 2.6.31-rc1 time too. Now i use e2croncheck script in cron.deily
will see if i can confirm it.
