Hi,
Bumpy morning.
Power on my laptop, restore from hibernation, it locks with black=20
display. Happens too much recently.
Reboot
postfix fails.
localhost fails to resolve.
/etc/hosts is gone, has zero bytes.
I try to mount the backup disk - thunar refuses.
Reboot to previous kernel. Problem persists. Manage to mount backup=20
manually, restore /etc/hosts.
Normality.
What could have zeroed /etc/hosts? Dated this morning boot time.
