For documentation purposes, (after working on items related to bug 1802021 / 1872021 / this bug)
The stack traces in this issue would suggest a duplicate of bug 1802021, fixed in kernel 4.15.0-47.50, but this happens in 4.15.0-96, which has that fix. So, looking at comments #5 and #6, the issue seems particular to the MAAS deploy boot/environment, as it doesn't happen on the deployed system with the same kernel (i.e., same system and kernel, different boot/environment), even when running similar commands. As such, this issue doesn't seem to be that kernel bug, but a manifestation with similar symptoms at the kernel level, due to what seems to be an underlying system/platform issue. Supporting 'evidence' seems to be the lack of additional comments on those bugs after Fix Released, and later on this bug, perhaps due to some system/firmware upgrade, for example. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872021 Title: [Ubuntu][Bionic] systemd caused kernel to hang on fsnotify wait-on- completion To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1872021/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
