Hi Joe, I have a 15.04 install running linux-next 4.5.0-rc5 from Febr 26th, on which I can confirm Sidney's update, that udev/systemd is no longer slowing this down to a halt.
As the default 3.19 kernel on 15.04 is not having this behavior, I've installed kernel 4.2.8 from the ubuntu ppa mainline tree. Running 4.2.8 on 15.04 brings us to the original problem with systemd-udevd CPU cycles. It would be great if you can do the bisect this as high as kernel 4.4 from Xenial, as that one was also showing the same symptoms, so you can narrow down the patches between 4.4 (xenial) and 4.5 upstream.

On Server 2012 we don't have the Live backup with VSS feature, so these messages should not occur in the first place. After 20 minutes we have over 3000 messages in the logs, all like below: Sep 14 17:43:33 ubuntu systemd-udevd[14292]: setting owner of /dev/vmbus/hv_vss to uid=0, gid=0 failed: No such file or directory Sep 14 17:44:00 ubuntu systemd-udevd[14292]: setting mode of /dev/vmbus/hv_vss to 020600 failed: No such file or directory Sep 14 17:44:00 ubuntu systemd-udevd[14292]: setting owner of /dev/vmbus/hv_vss to uid=0, gid=0 failed: No such file or directory Sep 14 17:44:01 ubuntu systemd-udevd[14292]: setting mode of /dev/vmbus/hv_vss to 020600 failed: No such file or directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1496927/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
