Came out of slumber and froze. On hard rebooting, I see it trying to mount the root filesystem, but all I repeatedly get was some messages about Incrementally Starting RAID devices, and complaining about no group "root" or "disk". Never to recover.<div><br></div><div>After playing around a bit, and fearing that my SSD was in the process of failing (but it booted grub without problem), I booted from a usb stick and discovered that my LVM root partition seemed fine. However, the UUID on the partition is not what is in grub!</div><div><br></div><div>WAHT?</div><div><br></div><div>No clue what happened. Judging from the number of packages that have yet to be updated, I don't think this is caused by updates. I could be wrong. The grub.cfg file is dated Jan 28th. It's possible I haven't rebooted since then. (off topic: does anyone have a favorite tool that writes stats to the log periodically? I can cron up a call to dump "uptime" or "w" to the log, but I figure someone else has already probably written something that is in the repo)</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, thought I'd throw it out to the group.</div><div><br></div><div>Kubuntu 14.10 running LVM on a fairly stock build. I try not to muck with the internals without using the Kubuntu config stuff (automated updates are too valuable to circumvent, although it looks like I haven't been). I just ran update-grub and the new config file uses "root=/dev/mapper/kubuntu-root" instead of "root=UUID=<blahblahblah>" that was there before. wow. I would assume problem solved, but this is odd. I wonder if I ran an update while I had a bootable thumbdrive in? I certainly hope that wouldn't cause problems. And I can't think of a reason any tool might change the UUID of a LVM partition.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope you are all well! Great to see you all still around.</div><div><br></div><div>Matt<br><div><br><div><div>On Feb 16, 2015, at 2:13 AM, Terence <<a href="mailto:terence.john@gmail.com">terence.john@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi, Kurt,<br><br></div>I'm still here, and still being evangelical about Linux.

Been a while. What are you up to these days?<br>
<br>
I'm working at an obscure internet tv company known as Netflix. Maybe<br>
you've heard of it? I've finally managed to land somewhere that<br>
Windows isn't used at all. Period. All I do is Linux, FreeBSD and<br>
some OSX. Its awesome.<br>
