Package: grub-pc
Version: 2.12-5
Severity: grave
Hello. Since version 2.06-8, when #1021846 has been fixed, GRUB may
randomly break and fail to boot. When GRUB is broken, it no more boot,
reboot don't help.
"error: unknown filesystem"
"GRUB rescue:"
The frequency of breakdowns is various. May be 10 normal boots, 1 fail.
3 normal boot, 1 fail.
I found, that one thing may cause failure in next boot with high
probability: delete logs
$ cd /var/log
$ sudo rm syslog daemon.log messages debug
$ sudo reboot
To fix the GRUB I boot from LiveCD and simply type in console:
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
# umount /mnt
# reboot
I also used fsck.f2fs, but it usually don't find errors.
$ sudo fdisk --list-details
