Description of problem: We've hit this before, but this is the first clear case I could document. We're still having problems where systems get pulled in to a recipe, that recipe is cancelled, and the system is still assigned to the user and not returnable. https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/recipes/78416 This was queued 2010-12-13 19:38:30, the system taken 2010-12-13 19:40:04 and cancelled some short time (seconds?) later. The system still has kkolakow as the Current User and clicking return results in: "Failed to return sgi-xe270-01.rhts.bos.redhat.com: u'System has active recipe 78416'" There's no watchdog entry for this host. It's just stuck in this state. Unfortunately I can't leave it like that for debugging, since the system is needed for customer work.
Another living example here: The Machine: https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/view/storageqe-06.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com The Message: > Failed to return storageqe-06.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com: u'System has active recipe 114375' Bill, I asked Barry to ping you before trying to reposes the machine as you may want to look at it first.
Thanks. I've returned it, I'm still trying to recreate this in stage.
Bulk reassignment of issues as Bill has moved to another team.
