Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.164-1
Severity: important
I use dm-cache to speed up a laptop that has a slow disk and a small ssd.
After shutting the laptop down using hibernate, it will no longer be
able to boot and will complain about a corrupted cache (manual repair
required).
I never succeeded in fixing the cache, and always remove it (lvconvert
--uncache) using a rescue memory stick and add it again afterwards.
I always assumed that it was just a problem with hibernate on this
laptop, but that is not the case: when the dm-cache is disabled,
hibernate is working just fine on this laptop. (I tested repeatedly to
be sure of this.)
The dm-cache is set up using the default policy (writethrough). The
problem does not seem specific to the latest kernel version, I noticed
the problem with the debian kernels 4.5.0, 4.6.0 and 4.7.0.
Laptop is suspended as follows:
