Hello Guillaume, or anyone else affected, Accepted systemd into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/245.4-4ubuntu3.23 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Focal) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1837227 Title: systemd mount units fail during boot, while file system is correctly mounted Status in systemd: New Status in Ubuntu Pro: In Progress Status in Ubuntu Pro 18.04 series: In Progress Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Bionic: Won't Fix Status in systemd source package in Bionic: Won't Fix Status in linux source package in Focal: Fix Released Status in systemd source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Jammy: Fix Released Status in systemd source package in Jammy: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] systemd mount units fail during boot, and the system boots into emergency mode [Test Plan] This issue seems to happen randomly, and doesn't seem related to a specific mount unit. We've used a test script with good results during investigation to reproduce similar mount failures in a running system, and have seen a strong correlation between the script failures and the boot time mount failures. The attached 'rep-tmpfs.sh' script should be used to validate that mount points are working correctly under stress. One can run through the different variants as below: # ./rep-tmpfs.sh --variant-0 # ./rep-tmpfs.sh --variant-1 # ./rep-tmpfs.sh --variant-2 # ./rep-tmpfs.sh --variant-3 # ./rep-tmpfs.sh --variant-4 All of these should run successfully without any reported errors. [Where problems could occur] The patches change the way systemd tracks and handles mount points in general, so potential regressions could affect other mount units. We should keep an eye out for any issues with mounting file systems, as well as rapid mount/unmount operations. Successful test runs with the reproducer script should increase reliability in having no new regressions. [Other Info] This has been tackled upstream with several attempts, which have resulted in the final patch from 2022: 01400460ae16 core/mount: adjust deserialized state based on /proc/self/mountinfo For Bionic, systemd requires several dependency patches as below: 6a1d4d9fa6b9 core: properly reset all ExecStatus structures when entering a new unit cycle 7eba1463dedc mount: flush out cycle state on DEAD→MOUNTED only, not the other way round 350804867dbc mount: rescan /proc/self/mountinfo before processing waitid() results 1d086a6e5972 mount: mark an existing "mounting" unit from /proc/self/mountinfo as "just_mounted" Additionally, the kernel also requires the following patches: 28ca0d6d39ab list: introduce list_for_each_continue() 9f6c61f96f2d proc/mounts: add cursor [Original Description] In Ubuntu 18.04 at least, we sometimes get a random server in emergency mode with a failed mount unit (ext4 file system), while the corresponding file system is in fact correctly mounted. It happens roughly once every 1000 reboots. It seems to be related with this bug : https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/10872 Is it possible to apply the fix (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/350804867dbcc9b7ccabae1187d730d37e2d8a21) in Ubuntu 18.04 ?
