Description oarribas 2021-08-18 15:52:36 UTC

Description of problem:

After unexpected power outage, CRI-O  is not able to start.


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

OCP 4.6


How reproducible:

Frequently


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Force a node shutdown in baremetal: `echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger`
2. CRI-O is not able to start (some times several tries are needed)
3.


Actual results:

CRI-O is not able to start. `crictl` commands shows the following errors:
~~~
# crictl ps -a
time="2021-08-01T01:50:58Z" level=fatal msg="connect: connect endpoint 'unix:///var/run/crio/crio.sock', make sure you are running as root and the endpoint has been started: context deadline exceeded"

# crictl pods
time="2021-08-01T01:51:00Z" level=fatal msg="connect: connect endpoint 'unix:///var/run/crio/crio.sock', make sure you are running as root and the endpoint has been started: context deadline exceeded"
~~~

Podman also fails wit errors like:
~~~
Error: readlink /var/lib/containers/storage/overlay/l/DM... : no such file or directory
~~~

After cleaning the CRI-O ephemeral storage [1], the node is able to start.


Expected results:

CRI-O to auto-recover

Comment 1 Peter Hunt 2021-08-18 15:56:58 UTC

Is there any chance the user can upgrade to 4.8? in it, we have an enhancement that allows CRI-O to remove the container storage dir if it wasn't cleanly shutdown, allowing for restarts to be safer and more contact free.

Comment 8 Peter Hunt 2021-08-23 20:12:50 UTC

fixed in 4.7 with the attached PR merging

Checked on a baremetal cluster with 4.7.0-0.nightly-2021-09-01-110541. Forced shutdown few times.
