** Also affects: cloud-initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Description changed:
In the open-iscsi test we boot a read-only root iscsi target, using
overlayroot.
Transiently this operation fails, ultimately leading to emergency shell.
Since this occurs in automated test, there is no access to that console
(it is being logged to a file).
The open iscsi test that triggers this is described at [1], including how
to run it.
Most recently, the open-iscsi version 2.0.873+git0.3b4b4500-14ubuntu17 has
run both successfully and failed when running for trigger cloud-utils and
systemd [2]
I am attaching a tarball with logs and artifacts from the autopackage
test runs here for posterity.
In the failure case we see evidence of failure at
- [ 52.729092] systemd[1]: media-root\x2dro.mount: Found ordering cycle on media-root\x2dro.mount/start
- [ 52.730938] systemd[1]: media-root\x2dro.mount: Found dependency on -.mount/start
