Description Nelson Lombo Paez 2021-02-03 07:23:18 UTC

Description of problem:

There is a Bugzilla open to a similar issue but regarding RHEL7 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1787148) and this one regarding OpenShift 4.4 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1897337) the last one it was suppose to be fixed in version 4.6.12 (https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:0037) but I have a customer with the same issue in version 4.6.12.

Some pods get stuck with the following logs[1]:


Also, it's not possible to create a sosreport for the following logs[2]

Attached the mustgather[3]

Please, let me know if you need anything else from my side

Comment 4 Peter Hunt 2021-02-10 20:26:21 UTC

upstream PR to fix this, will backport to 4.6 and 4.5 once merged

Comment 6 Peter Hunt 2021-02-11 14:21:43 UTC

sure! It was added to the links, but here it is a comment github.com/cri-o/cri-o/pull/4563 :)

Comment 7 Peter Hunt 2021-02-12 19:07:58 UTC

1.21 (4.8) version merged. Backports for 4.5-4.7 are in progress

Comment 19 Sunil Choudhary 2021-03-31 07:19:19 UTC

Checked this on nightly build release:4.8.0-0.nightly-2021-03-26-054333 with multiple clusters and kept them running for couple of days. I did not see this failure on them.

Comment 31 Peter Hunt 2021-05-24 20:37:29 UTC

this bug should be fixed for most cases where we previously got the "Argument list too long" error message in systemd 

If that issue is still present, I will need the sos_report from the nodes *from the time the issue is happening*. you can also get must-gather, but note must-gather only gathers from the masters by default. I need it from the node that is affected or I cannot help.

If systemd is failing for another reason ("Invalid argument" that isn't followed by "Argument list too long") then I recommend opening a new bug, as that would be something different.

Re: comment#25: I cannot glean what is going wrong because I only have a must-gather from the masters, not a sos_report from the affected node. please attach the sos_report or must-gather from the correct node for me to continue.

sorry for the silence folks, my BZ filtering mechanism doesn't keep VERIFIED bugs on my radar, so these questions kept slipping. If you need my attention, setting needsinfo would be helpful to me.
