We've hit it again in the pipeline for `luks.sss.t2`.

Seems to happen mostly in `luks.sss.*` tests.

Comment 1 Micah Abbott 2021-01-15 20:36:24 UTC

Higher priority work has prevented from this issue being solved; adding UpcomingSprint keyword

Comment 2 Micah Abbott 2021-03-16 16:58:14 UTC

Saw this on the `coreos.boot-mirror` test against RHCOS 4.8 most recently

Comment 3 Jonathan Lebon 2021-04-30 19:08:40 UTC

I actually haven't really dug into this this sprint and it's a pretty low occurrence flake AFAICT.

Comment 4 Micah Abbott 2021-06-28 15:57:47 UTC

Still haven't sorted this out; moving to 4.9.0

Comment 5 Micah Abbott 2021-06-28 17:59:20 UTC

This error might be resolved come RHEL 8.5 - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1946453

Comment 6 Timothée Ravier 2021-06-28 18:00:45 UTC

Workaround in https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler/pull/2261

Comment 7 Micah Abbott 2022-01-11 21:10:34 UTC

This feels more like a failure in how our tests are running, so I've copied the failure/error to https://github.com/openshift/os/issues/691

If we find something in the OS that we should fix, we can reopen this.
