Ubuntu 20.04 LTS has started to corrupt file systems on 3 different computers
by JohnMcAuley from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6DVV0)
These problems probably started within the last 2-3 weeks. They started off gently at first. The happen on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
I noticed fetcher errors where Yocto Bitbake downloads files and does a checksum comparison. I was seeing intermittent failures. The checksums didn't match. A second attempt would succeed.
Then I started seeing unexpected EOFs in C++ source files during compiles.
Then, when I open new terminal windows, the window opens but no shell appears to be running.
Then Ubuntu fails to shut down.
Then I got errors from rm -rf saying that I didn't have permissions to delete a subfolder. I did have permissions.
ls -l on the offending folder returned ': bad message'.
In the end I reformatted the disk.
I tried on another machine. A fresh install of Ubuntu over a Windows box. Same errors.
I tried crops on a Windows laptop. Same story.
Is anyone else having similar problems with the latest Ubuntu 20.04 LTS?
