Bus error on shm_open/ftruncate/mmap after changing kernel boot partition

Show all headers | View raw

Strange bug after changing the boot partition (the previous was on a 
hard disk with a few media errors).

I must apologize that the old partition is re-formatted. (As an excuse 
the other services on this server system work fine with the new partition.)

Anyway, the bogus code sequence is below. Should work fine everywhere, 
modulo write permission on /dev/shm.

Same observation with privileged execution.

uname -a reports:

Linux hostname 4.1.3 #15 SMP Sun Aug 30 03:01:12 UTC 2015 x86_64 
Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G3250 @ 3.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Obviously, any help appreciated.

Regards
