** Information type changed from Public to Public Security ** Tags added: regression-update ** Description changed: The following description is taken from: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+question/676237 - Hello everyone, I'm running 16.04 LTS on a virtual server which, I think, uses OpenVz. After a recent reboot I found most of my services to be in a failed state. The reason for that, I guess, are these log entries: Nov 17 04:47:42 h2118376 systemd-tmpfiles[165]: fchownat() of /run/elasticsearch failed: Invalid argument Nov 17 04:47:42 h2118376 systemd-tmpfiles[165]: fchownat() of /run/kopano failed: Invalid argument Nov 17 04:47:42 h2118376 systemd-tmpfiles[165]: fchownat() of /run/kopano failed: Invalid argument Nov 17 04:47:42 h2118376 systemd-tmpfiles[165]: fchownat() of /run/php failed: Invalid argument Nov 17 04:47:42 h2118376 systemd-tmpfiles[165]: fchownat() of /run/postgresql failed: Invalid argument Nov 17 04:47:42 h2118376 systemd-tmpfiles[165]: fchownat() of /run/redis failed: Invalid argument Nov 17 04:47:42 h2118376 systemd-tmpfiles[165]: fchownat() of /run/screen failed: Invalid argument Nov 17 04:47:42 h2118376 systemd-tmpfiles[165]: fchownat() of /run/utmp failed: Invalid argument Nov 17 04:47:42 h2118376 systemd-tmpfiles[165]: fchownat() of /run/systemd/netif failed: Invalid argument Nov 17 04:47:42 h2118376 systemd-tmpfiles[165]: fchownat() of /run/systemd/netif/links failed: Invalid argument Nov 17 04:47:42 h2118376 systemd-tmpfiles[165]: fchownat() of /run/systemd/netif/leases failed: Invalid argument Nov 17 04:47:42 h2118376 systemd-tmpfiles[165]: fchownat() of /run/log/journal failed: Invalid argument Nov 17 04:47:42 h2118376 systemd-tmpfiles[165]: fchownat() of /run/log/journal/bbad3a438f4b4fb49e5d0700bd5981e8 failed: Invalid argument Nov 17 04:47:42 h2118376 systemd-tmpfiles[165]: fchownat() of /run/log/journal/bbad3a438f4b4fb49e5d0700bd5981e8/system.journal failed: Invalid argument To verify I tried this: /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d# SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug systemd-tmpfiles --create elasticsearch.conf Reading config file "elasticsearch.conf".

"/run/elasticsearch" has right mode 40755 chown "/run/elasticsearch" to 120.128 fchownat() of /run/elasticsearch failed: Invalid argument I can manually chown the directories, e.g. "chown elasticsearch:elasticsearch /var/run/elasticsearch" and restart the service successfully. My suspicion is, this is related to an upgrade of systemd to 229-4ubuntu21.8. At this point I don't know what to do. I'm also confused about the version I have installed, which I thought is systemd-229. Howver, I looked at https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/v229/src/tmpfiles/tmpfiles.c and found that fchownat() is only used from version 238+: Tag v237 (and earlier, including 229): /.../ - if (chown(fn, - i->uid_set ? i->uid : UID_INVALID, - i->gid_set ? i->gid : GID_INVALID) < 0) - return log_error_errno(errno, "chown(%s) failed: %m", path); + if (chown(fn, + i->uid_set ? i->uid : UID_INVALID, + i->gid_set ? i->gid : GID_INVALID) < 0) + return log_error_errno(errno, "chown(%s) failed: %m", path); } /.../ Tag v238 /.../ - if (fchownat(fd, - "", - i->uid_set ? i->uid : UID_INVALID, - i->gid_set ? i->gid : GID_INVALID, - AT_EMPTY_PATH) < 0) + if (fchownat(fd, + "", + i->uid_set ? i->uid : UID_INVALID, + i->gid_set ? i->gid : GID_INVALID, + AT_EMPTY_PATH) < 0) return log_error_errno(errno, "fchownat() of %s failed: %m", path); /.../ - - Any help fixing this problem would be highly appreciated. + Any help fixing this problem would be highly appreciated.
