Do you also see slow shutdowns? One of my servers which has other problems with this patch (bug #1870783) has been seen to get stuck shutting down / rebooting showing a message about (I think) lvmetad (hard to tell due to very small server console truncating message) .. systemd eventually times it out (after, a bit randomly, 105 secs)

On the affected servers, this is visible as there are 2 instances of systemd-udevd, one in the init.scope and another in system.slice: $ systemd-cgls | cat Control group /: -.slice ├─user.slice │ ├─user-501.slice │ │ ├─session-7.scope │ │ │ ├─12324 sshd: foo [priv] │ │ │ ├─12353 sshd: foo@pts/2 │ │ │ ├─12354 script --quiet --return --command /bin/bash -l /dev/null │ │ │ ├─12356 /bin/bash -l │ │ │ ├─12375 sudo -i │ │ │ └─12385 -bash │ │ └─user@501.service │ │ └─init.scope │ │ ├─12326 /lib/systemd/systemd --user │ │ └─12327 (sd-pam) │ └─user-500.slice │ ├─user@500.service │ │ └─init.scope │ │ ├─12185 /lib/systemd/systemd --user │ │ └─12186 (sd-pam) │ └─session-3.scope │ ├─12170 sshd: sdeziel [priv] │ ├─12254 sshd: sdeziel@pts/0 │ ├─12255 script --quiet --return --command /bin/bash -l /dev/null │ ├─12257 /bin/bash -l │ ├─14409 systemd-cgls │ └─14410 cat ├─init.scope │ ├─ 1 /sbin/init kaslr nosplash │ ├─1451 /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd --daemon --resolve-names=never │ ├─1466 /sbin/lvm pvscan --cache --activate ay --major 8 --minor 3 │ ├─1470 /sbin/lvm pvscan --cache --activate ay --major 8 --minor 2 │ ├─1481 /sbin/lvm pvscan --cache --activate ay --major 253 --minor 1 │ └─1551 /sbin/lvm pvscan --cache --activate ay --major 253 --minor 1 └─system.slice ├─irqbalance.service │ └─2796 /usr/sbin/irqbalance --foreground ├─systemd-networkd.service │ └─2833 /lib/systemd/systemd-networkd ├─systemd-udevd.service │ └─1627 /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd ├─cron.service │ ├─ 2786 /usr/sbin/cron -f │ └─12308 /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/ganeti-noded -b 172.20.30.212 ├─system-serial\x2dgetty.slice │ └─serial-getty@ttyS0.service │ └─12112 /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --keep-baud 115200,38400,9600 ttyS0 vt220 ├─systemd-journald.service │ └─1601 /lib/systemd/systemd-journald ├─ssh.service │ └─12115 /usr/sbin/sshd -D ├─rsyslog.service │ └─2781 /usr/sbin/rsyslogd -n ├─nagios-nrpe-server.service │ └─12108 /usr/sbin/nrpe -c /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg -f ├─lvm2-lvmetad.service │ └─1630 /sbin/lvmetad -f ├─systemd-resolved.service │ └─3280 /lib/systemd/systemd-resolved ├─dbus.service │ └─2762 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidf... ├─systemd-timesyncd.service │ └─2491 /lib/systemd/systemd-timesyncd ├─system-getty.slice │ └─getty@tty1.service │ └─12113 /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear tty1 linux ├─systemd-logind.service │ └─2797 /lib/systemd/systemd-logind └─ganeti.service ├─ 3892 /usr/sbin/ganeti-confd ├─12173 /usr/sbin/ganeti-kvmd └─12276 /usr/sbin/ganeti-mond The systemd-udevd in init.scope and the many /sbin/lvm pvscan it launched during boot are left there forever. This trips our monitoring for binaries using deleted binaries/libs and is also visible like that: # pgrep systemd-udevd 1451 1627 # ls -l /proc/1451/exe lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 19 10:35 /proc/1451/exe -> '/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd (deleted)' # ls -l /proc/1627/exe lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 19 10:35 /proc/1627/exe -> /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd This can be compared with another server *NOT AFFECTED*, where the init.scope is cleaner (/sbin/init only) and a single systemd-udevd process: # systemd-cgls | cat Control group /: -.slice ├─user.slice │ └─user-0.slice │ ├─session-313.scope │ │ ├─90332 sshd: root@pts/0 │ │ ├─90406 script --quiet --return --command /bin/bash -l /dev/null │ │ ├─90410 /bin/bash -l │ │ ├─90436 systemd-cgls │ │ └─90437 cat │ └─user@0.service │ └─init.scope │ ├─90334 /lib/systemd/systemd --user │ └─90335 (sd-pam) ├─init.scope │ └─1 /sbin/init kaslr nosplash └─system.slice ... ├─systemd-udevd.service │ └─2622 /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd ... ├─lvm2-lvmetad.service │ └─2621 /sbin/lvmetad -f ...
