This fix is causing problems on Ubuntu 12.04 for me; for both KVM hosts and KVM guests. I see a message like
lockfile creation failed: exceeded maximum number of lock attempts On my hosts, it delays boot finishing for several minutes; while some of my guests just never become network accessible. For anyone else bitten by same issue, I am currently using this workaround: chmod -x /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1125726 Title: boot-time race between /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate and "/etc/init.d/ntp start" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/1125726/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
