            Bug ID: 94641
           Summary: Kernel source tarball download incomplete despite
                    Firefox report of complete download
           Product: File System
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: Linux hal9000 3.13.0-37-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep
                    22 21:28:38 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: P1
         Component: ext3
          Assignee: fs_ext3@...nel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: mdcrawford@...il.com
        Regression: No

This may well be a bug in Firefox or some other userspace component, however it
is serious enough that the kernel developers ought to know about it.

I tried several times to download a Linux kernel tarball; each time Firefox
reported that the entire file was downloaded, however the file in my filesystem
was quite a lot shorter than the size reported at kernel.org.

I speculated that Firefox had a caching bug, and so closed all my tabs one by
one, then closed the window.  The file was still incomplete.

I launched a new Firefox, retried the download, still incomplete.

I shut down my box, booted it, then was able to download successfully.

Perhaps the problem has something to do with Hibernate; I do know there were
some problems in the past with hibernating my motherboard, a SuperMicro
X7DWA-N.  Under a much earlier kernel, with Fedora 7, while I could go into and
out of hibernation, after coming out the networking did not work.

With my present Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.1 64-bit install, I've been using
hibernation quite a bit.

I am just now seeing some evidence that I may have a more serious problem,
perhaps I have bad memory or something.  I'm going to run Memtest86.

I'm using an AMCC3ware 9690-SA 4-disk RAID5, with battery backup so as to
enable write caching.
