Public bug reported: As reported in upstream bug http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/17689, the ceph-all service starts at runlevels [2345] and introduces a race condition which allows the ceph service (e.g. ceph-mon) to start prior to the network the service binds to is up on the server. This causes the service to fail on start because it was unable to bind to the specific network the service is configured to listen on.
A work around is to provide a post-up directive to the network stanza configuring the network device in the /etc/network/interfaces file which restarts the necessary ceph service. [Impact] * Ceph service fails to start on reboot of machine/container when networking takes some time to come up. * The provided patch to the upstart service configuration adds the static-network-up event as a dependency for the start on service directive. The static-network-up event is started after all the network stanzas have been processed in the necessary config files. [Test Case] * Configure multiple network interfaces and have the ceph service bind to one of the last configured network devices to introduce a delayed start of the network interface. [Regression Potential] * Upstream previously had the directive to start the service after any network-device-up for a network which is not the loopback interface. This caused some "weirdness" to be seen when the multiple network interfaces were configured. This was likely due the events that it keyed on being the local filesystems being available and a single network interface being available. This would add the change to start only after all the network interface stanzas are processed in the /e/n/i configuration files. * Additionally, this will cause some ceph services to start later than they previously would have since this change causes additional start dependencies. However, the results should be that the interfaces have always had a chance to be started prior to the attempt to start the ceph service. ** Affects: ceph (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Billy Olsen (billy-olsen) Status: New ** Changed in: ceph (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Billy Olsen (billy-olsen) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1636322 Title: upstart: ceph-all service starts before networks up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ceph/+bug/1636322/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
