我有一台笔记本电脑,它从 USB 存储上的根文件系统运行 Ubuntu 14.04。这不太好用,因为从挂起状态唤醒后,ext4 会在 USB 准备就绪之前频繁尝试写入根文件系统。
当这种情况发生时,我在内核日志中看到以下内容,请注意我如何收到一堆 I/O 错误sda1
,然后一秒钟后内核终于检测到 USB 存储驱动器。

起初,内核日志之外没有任何可见迹象表明问题已触发,但如果我让 Ubuntu 继续运行超过这个时间点,那么文件系统将出现错误并最终切换到只读模式。此时,我必须重新启动进入恢复模式并fsck.ext4
从 root shell 手动运行才能修复文件系统。
我可以更改某些设置吗,以便从挂起状态唤醒后对根设备的访问可以延迟到 USB 驱动器准备就绪?
答案1
该问题仅出现在 USB 设备上而在其他设备上不出现的原因是以下两个因素的结合:
- USB 存储与其他存储介质不同,它依靠内核线程进行操作。
- 从挂起状态恢复时,内核会同时唤醒所有线程。
结果是,在恢复期间,USB 系统一方面试图检测媒体,另一方面试图将挂起和恢复过程中的日志消息写入磁盘,两者之间将发生竞争。
如果 syslog 在检测到 USB 设备之前尝试写入,ext4 就会出现错误,由于某种原因无法干净地处理,最终文件系统将需要手动运行 fsck。
我发现的解决方案是让内核线程在唤醒其他线程之前提前 12 秒启动。为了实现这个功能,我必须对内核进行以下更改:
