dmesg output with systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=kmsg none

Description Mirco Tischler 2010-09-14 12:04:28 UTC
Created attachment 447201 [details]
dmesg output with systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=kmsg

Description of problem:
systemd doesn't bring up sendmail on boot event though the sysvinit links are set to do so. (chkconfig --list sendmail gives 0:off 1: off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off). A manual start of sendmail does work (systemctl start sendmail.service).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd.x86_64                     10-1.fc14
systemd-gtk.x86_64                 10-1.fc14
systemd-sysvinit.x86_64            10-1.fc14
systemd-units.x86_64               10-1.fc14

How reproducible:
On every boot

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable sendmail (chkconfig sendmail on)
2. reboot  

Actual results:
systemctl status sendmail.service: loaded, but inactive

Expected results:
systemctl status sendmail.service: active(running)


Additional info:
Machine is a vmware img. systemctl start sendmail.service does start sendmail just fine.

I attached the dmesg output of a boot with systemd.log_leve=debug systemd.log_target=kmsg kernel commandline options

Comment 1 Michal Schmidt 2010-09-14 12:18:03 UTC
Something attempts to reload sendmail while it is scheduled for start.

Is it /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/10-sendmail? Does it help if move this file away temporarily?

Comment 2 Mirco Tischler 2010-09-14 12:34:27 UTC
Yes. moving this file somewhere else does allow sendmail to start.

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2010-10-08 22:46:23 UTC
Moving systemd bugs to f15, since the systemd feature got delayed.

*** Bug 665888 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 5 Matěj Cepl 2010-12-29 11:20:00 UTC
Marked as triaged for duplicates, and because there doesn't seem to be anything to  clarify here.

Comment 6 Horst H. von Brand 2011-01-10 04:01:36 UTC
This works now...

Comment 7 Horst H. von Brand 2011-01-12 16:19:03 UTC
(In reply to comment #6)
> This works now...

Sorry, no. It seems that it works sometimes, mostly it doesn't.

Comment 8 Lennart Poettering 2011-02-16 23:07:51 UTC
Could you please try to reproduce this and when you manage to do a "systemctl show sendmail.service" and paste the output here?

Comment 9 Horst H. von Brand 2011-02-24 02:31:07 UTC
It seems to have dissapeared, hasn't happened again for at least a week or so.

OK, closing then. Feel free to reopen if the problem appears again.

I can reproduce on my VM.

Comment 13 Orion Poplawski 2011-04-11 22:10:48 UTC
Okay, some lines were trimmed:

After=local-fs.target network.target basic.target sandbox.service netconsole.service auditd.service rpcbind.service mysqld.service speech-dispatcherd.service yum-cron.service

Comment 14 Michal Schmidt 2011-04-12 07:37:50 UTC
I can reproduce this with a little help to expose the race condition. Enabling a unit like this does it nicely:

[Unit]
Description=MMM delay sendmail for bz633774
Before=sendmail.service
[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/bin/sleep 15
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

The race is:
1. The job "sendmail.service/start" is installed.
2. Before systemd proceeds with this job, something (see comment #1) asks
   for reload of sendmail. The job "sendmail.service/reload/replace"
   is enqueued.
3. The original job is forgotten (because of the replace mode of the new one?)

Comment 15 Colin.Simpson 2011-06-06 15:13:25 UTC
I have this under F15. Is this bug tracking that too?

Comment 16 Peter Robinson 2011-06-11 10:46:48 UTC
> Is it /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/10-sendmail? Does it help if move this
> file away temporarily?

Looks like that is a problem with the NM dispatcher scripts that were documented in bug 703321 and should now be fixed. Please confirm.

Comment 17 Derek Atkins 2011-06-12 15:33:22 UTC
FYI, i just upgraded two systems to F15 over the last couple days and I'm seeing this problem with both sendmail and squid.  Both have files in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d.  But no, this file still exists as of yesterday (I didn't freshen the update today).

Comment 18 Derek Atkins 2011-06-12 15:38:19 UTC
I can also verify that removing the offending service file from the NM dispatcher makes the problem go away.  The system is fully updated as of minutes ago.

Comment 19 Michal Schmidt 2011-06-12 23:12:19 UTC
(In reply to comment #16)
> Looks like that is a problem with the NM dispatcher scripts that were

No, the breakage of NM dispatcher scripts did not cause this bug. The race I described in comment #14 exposes a real bug in systemd.

Comment 20 Sammy 2011-06-17 14:24:03 UTC
Just hit this bug.....I did not have the problem until yesterday since I did not have NetworkManager enabled until then. After enabling and rebooting sendmail did not start.

Comment 21 Doug Maxey 2011-06-21 00:11:32 UTC
Not running squid here, but am not seeing sendmail running after boot.  Manual starts are fine.

Comment 22 Michal Schmidt 2011-07-02 15:21:07 UTC
This build should fix it. Please give it a try:

Comment 27 Michael Schwendt 2011-07-08 09:38:19 UTC
Since updating to the systemd-26-7.fc15 packages, sendmail fails to start here at x86_64 boot time. Downgrading to the -5.fc15 packages fixes it.

Comment 28 Kari A. Massarene 2011-07-11 22:56:55 UTC
Installed systemd-26-7.fc15 on an x86 system. The system booted to Emergency maintenance prompt. Indications were that fsck.ext3 failed to read superblock on /dev/md0. Restored systemd back to 26-5 and all was well (except sendmail did not load on boot). I edited /etc/rc.d/rc.local by adding a line 
/sbin/service sendmail start 
as a temporary workaround. 
I have another server also running the x86 version of Fedora 15 on which the sendmail service starts on boot up. This box is not running spamassassin unlike the server that fails.

Does it happen with systemd-26-8.fc15 too?

Comment 33 Michal Schmidt 2011-07-13 09:37:25 UTC
Kari,
this looks like it will need more investigation. Please file a new bug and attach:
 - the complete output of "dmesg" after booting with "log_buf_len=1M systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=kmsg" with systemd-26-8.fc15.
 - the same output from a boot with systemd-26-5.fc15.
 - The output from "lsblk" with systemd-26-5.fc15.
 - /etc/fstab
Thanks.

Comment 34 Kari A. Massarene 2011-07-13 18:38:42 UTC
I rebooted to get the dmesg debug output with systemd-26-5.fc15 and experienced the same issue with mounting /dev/md0 as I had with systemd-26-7.fc15 and systemd-26-8.fc15, so I may have hardware problems or possibly cleanup problems after reverting back to systemd-26-5.fc15. I was able to restore operation after rebooting again (twice).

Following the reboot, executing 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing systemd-26-8.fc15' resulted in a "nothing to do" message. I then executed 'yum reinstall --enablerepo=updates-testing systemd-26-8.fc15 systemd-sysv-26-8.fc15 systemd-units-26-8.fc15' and rebooted again. The reboot was successful and sendmail started on boot.

At this point I don't know if it is worthwhile filing a new bug report.

Comment 35 Fedora Update System 2011-07-15 01:22:27 UTC
systemd-26-8.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
