Description Johnny Hughes 2023-03-28 16:27:25 UTC

Description of problem:
With version 239-73.el8 of systemd, the boot.iso and also any machine updated to this version of systemd has this error when booting:

A start job is running for 'Flush Journal to Persistent Storage'

After 90 Seconds, it fails and the boot continues.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

systemd-239-73.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

(I tested this on the CI system , 2 new VM installs and one cold iron machine.  Both new installs and updates, even the ISOs to run the installer have this issue.  I did not test arches other than x86_64)  

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install a new (or update an existing) CentOS Stream 8 system to systemd-239-73.el8.

Additional info:

I am currently NOT releasing this compose to the CentOS Mirrors (unless instructed to do so) as this will break every install of CentOS Stream 8 that upgrades.

This package can be accessed in koji:

https://kojihub.stream.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=30931

Or tested from:

https://composes.stream.centos.org/stream-8/production/CentOS-Stream-8-20230327.0/

Comment 1 Johnny Hughes 2023-03-28 16:34:34 UTC

systemd-239-71.el8 does not exhibit this issue.

Comment 2 Johnny Hughes 2023-03-28 16:41:13 UTC

NOTE: This version (systemd-239-73.el8) was already released in a previous compose.  I only noticed it when testing the new secureboot kernel.  This issue actually passes our CI testing.  So, this is already live and on the mirrors.
