And you can check that upstart got deadlocked: --- root@provisioned:~# ps -ef | grep ifup root 618 1 0 10:21 ? 00:00:00 ifup --allow auto eth2 root 619 1 0 10:21 ? 00:00:00 ifup --allow auto eth1 root 620 1 0 10:21 ? 00:00:00 ifup --allow auto lo root 621 1 0 10:21 ? 00:00:00 ifup --allow auto eth0 root 726 1 0 10:21 ? 00:00:00 ifup --allow auto bond0 root 739 733 0 10:21 ? 00:00:00 ifup -a
root@provisioned:~# for i in `ps -ef | grep ifup | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`; do echo $i; cat /proc/$i/environ; done 618 ...UPSTART_INSTANCE=eth2... ...UPSTART_INSTANCE=eth1... ...UPSTART_INSTANCE=lo... ...UPSTART_INSTANCE=eth0... ...INSTANCE=UPSTART_JOB=networking... --- As I said before, sysv scripts and upstart scripts were depending on each other to run in parallel (unfortunately with race conditions) to configure bonding. We can see here that one of upstart networking processes (networking or network-instance) got the lock and is on an infinite loop waiting for other instance.. who is waiting for the lock. --- root@provisioned:~# ps -ef | grep ifenslave root 647 641 0 10:21 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ifenslave --- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1337873 Title: Precise, Trusty, Utopic - ifupdown initialization problems caused by race condition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1337873/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
