Description Sitsofe Wheeler 2015-11-05 06:32:34 UTC
Description of problem:
In the cloud image of Fedora 23 tmp.mount is masked but this generates warning messages in the journal every 10 minutes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-222-8.fc23.x86_64

How reproducible:
Reproducible every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start the Fedora 23 cloud image?
2. Wait an half an hour.
3. Run
journalctl --since "30 minutes ago" | grep tmp

Actual results:
Nov 05 06:00:05 localhost systemd[1]: tmp.mount: Cannot add dependency job, ignoring: Unit tmp.mount is masked.
Nov 05 06:02:39 localhost systemd[1]: tmp.mount: Cannot add dependency job, ignoring: Unit tmp.mount is masked.
Nov 05 06:10:05 localhost systemd[1]: tmp.mount: Cannot add dependency job, ignoring: Unit tmp.mount is masked.
Nov 05 06:20:15 localhost systemd[1]: tmp.mount: Cannot add dependency job, ignoring: Unit tmp.mount is masked.

Expected results:
Message to appear only once per boot?

Additional info:
This did not happen on Fedora 22's systemd. Poking around you can see the tmp.mount dependency here:

/usr/lib/systemd/system/local-fs.target.wants/tmp.mount

and you can see its masking here:

/etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount
.

Comment 1 Henrique Martins 2015-11-22 15:35:43 UTC
Happens on my non-cloud image of Fedora 23, as I have tmp.mount masked.

Comment 2 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2015-11-23 02:20:25 UTC
Yeah, http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/APIFileSystems/ documents masking as the "official" way to disable tmpfs-/tmp and indeed this generates messages at notice level whenever anything having local-fs.target as dependency is started.

This is a problem with masking that appears in quite a few places. Maybe we should simply downgrade the message to debug level to hide it.

Comment 4 Sitsofe Wheeler 2016-01-09 12:36:42 UTC
Any chance of a backport of this fix? Fedora 23 is on systemd-222 and this fix probably won't arrive until systemd-229 ...

Comment 5 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2016-01-09 14:35:56 UTC
Yeah, we should. That was the plan anyway.

Comment 6 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2016-01-15 02:39:22 UTC
Should also include https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/2322.
