Greetings,
I have been working on a problem the last couple of days and I believe I
have come up with a solution so I thought I would share it with the list
in case anybody else runs into this or someone has a better solution.
Problem:
I have had a server running Ubuntu 14.04 hang a couple of times. I try
to run everything using standard Ubuntu packages. The server is an LXC
host with two containers running on it (but several more planned). I
wanted to get a kernel core dump if it hung again so I started
investigating kdump/kexec. I installed, configured, and tested
kdump/kexec on another server and it worked as advertised. However, when
I tried it on the LXC server it would save the core dump OK but the
server would fail to reboot or hang at some other point in the process.
I noticed that when kexec was booting the secondary kernel it was
starting up all of the services that start on a normal boot, including
LXC, and that seemed to be causing a problem. When I set the containers
Do you have any idea why it was causing a problem?
I do not.
Now that you are kexecing into runlevel 2, after you do that, are you
able to start the lxc service and lxc container by hand?
When kexec kicks off the secondary kernel as part of the kdump process
it writes out the kernel core dump and, when that is finished, the
server reboots. This is the result I was working toward. With this
scenario there is not a chance to start lxc.
I will try to simulate this by kexecing manually into runlevel 2 and
then starting up lxc and report back.
