Well, I've found out why charm is not complaining: systemctl is marking as SUCCESS despite failures on journalctl.
Also, running an strace on this, I see: close(3) = 0 stat("/etc/swift/proxy-server.conf", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2797, ...}) = 0 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/var/run/swift", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) fstat(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 0), ...}) = 0 write(1, "Starting proxy-server...(/etc/sw"..., 55Starting proxy-server...(/etc/swift/proxy-server.conf) ) = 55 pipe([3, 4]) = 0 fcntl(3, F_GETFD) = 0 fcntl(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 fcntl(4, F_GETFD) = 0 fcntl(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 pipe([5, 6]) = 0 fcntl(5, F_GETFD) = 0 fcntl(5, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 fcntl(6, F_GETFD) = 0 fcntl(6, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 clone(child_stack=NULL, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7f3707c16a10) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) So, my guess is that control nodes are overloaded with containers and swift cannot spawn any more workers. I moved swift-proxy to swift-storage nodes and it worked. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817055 Title: Broken dependency when setting swift-proxy on Bionic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/charm-swift-proxy/+bug/1817055/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
