Package: xen-utils-common Version: 4.4.1-9+deb8u4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have a server with a large number of domUs set to auto-start. For the first time I have booted it with all of them needing to start from cold, but the xendomains service only got part way through. syslog showed nothing notable about the domains starting… Apr 16 14:57:45 snaps xendomains[4631]: Starting Xen domain lima (from /etc/xen/auto/010-lima.conf)...done. …until… Apr 16 15:02:36 sierra xendomains[4631]: Starting Xen domain juliet (from /etc/xen/auto/627-juliet.conf)...done.

Terminating. Apr 16 15:02:40 sierra systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: Start/stop secondary xen domains. Apr 16 15:02:40 sierra systemd[1]: Unit xendomains.service entered failed state. That the 51st domain, around 60% of the way through the list of domains it should have started. Once I'd realised only some of the domains were started I reran "service xendomains start" and it finished the job. So, is there a built in timeout of ~5 minutes here that I need to increase? I see that the generated /run/systemd/generator.late/xendomains.service file contains: . . [Service] Type=forking Restart=no TimeoutSec=5min . . So that's probably what is being hit, but I cannot work out how to make the generator apply a longer timeout. Any hints would be appreciated.
