upgrade error 16.04 / hang on sync after cpio build of initramfs
When upgrading (apt-get upgrade) on 16.04 (ubuntu-mate) I get a hang (left from 9:50am til 16:00 or thereabouts)
I tracked down as far as the call to /etc/kernel/
...
Adding binary /bin/date
Adding binary /sbin/hwclock
Adding binary /sbin/dumpe2fs
Calling hook dmsetup
Calling hook reiserfsprogs
Building cpio /boot/initrd.
^CFailed to process /etc/kernel/
dpkg: error processing package linux-image-

Package linux-image-
Checking with `ps fax` before the interrupt, I get this tree - indicating a hang on `sync` task
sudo dpkg --configure -a
\_ dpkg --configure -a
\_ /usr/bin/perl /var/lib/
\_ run-parts --verbose --exit-on-error --arg=4.
\_ /bin/sh -e /etc/kernel/
\_ /bin/sh /usr/sbin/
I tried moving the resulting initramfs img file in /boot so a new one would be created - a new one is indeed created, hang still occurs on `sync`
