Here is a recap of my day of work : The unattended-upgrades.service unit never runs the ExecStop because it is not enabled as we see here :
# systemctl status unattended-upgrades.service ● unattended-upgrades.service - Unattended Upgrades Shutdown Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/unattended-upgrades.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Docs: man:unattended-upgrade(8) This is caused by a missing "Default-Start" header in /etc/init.d /unattended-upgrades. Trying to enable the unit leads to : # systemctl enable unattended-upgrades.service Synchronizing state of unattended-upgrades.service with SysV init with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install... Executing /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable unattended-upgrades update-rc.d: error: unattended-upgrades Default-Start contains no runlevels, aborting. I'm currently working on fixing all this in the packaging so we get a correctly working unit after the upgrade of the package. I have also reworked the unit : [Unit] Description=Unattended Upgrades Shutdown DefaultDependencies=no After=network.target local-fs.target RequiresMountsFor=/var/log /var/run Documentation=man:unattended-upgrade(8) [Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=yes ExecStop=/usr/share/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrade-shutdown TimeoutStopSec=900 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target With this configuration, the unit runs the ExecStop as expected. I also tested using Unattended-Upgrade::InstallOnShutdown "true" and it works as expected, which is to block the shutdown for upgrade with the network being available. I should have that available for testing tomorrow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1654600 Title: unattended-upgrade-shutdown hangs when /var is a separate filesystem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unattended-upgrades/+bug/1654600/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
