Good news! I've been able to reproduce the hung task in bch_bucket_alloc() issue locally, using the test case from bug 1784665. I think we're hitting the same problem now. I'll do more tests and will keep you updated.

Upon retrying the node would usually deploy fine. Experimentally I've set the timeout ridiculously high, and it seems I'm getting no faults with this. I'm wondering if the timeout for removal is set too tight, or might need to be made configurable. --- curtin/util.py~ 2018-05-18 18:40:48.000000000 +0000 +++ curtin/util.py 2018-10-05 09:40:06.807390367 +0000 @@ -263,7 +263,7 @@ return _subp(*args, **kwargs) -def wait_for_removal(path, retries=[1, 3, 5, 7]): +def wait_for_removal(path, retries=[1, 3, 5, 7, 1200, 1200]): if not path: raise ValueError('wait_for_removal: missing path parameter') To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/curtin/+bug/1796292/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
