[Touch-packages] [Bug 1130611] Re: Upstart never closes /var/log/upstart/mysql.log
I confirm this problem in ubuntu 14.04: $ sudo lsof|grep deleted|grep -Ev "/(dev|tmp|run)" init 1 root 10w REG 252,4 778 131190 /var/log/upstart/mysql.log.1 (deleted) An effect (and how I noticed it) is that when I take LVM snapshot of the underlying volume I get warning messages in dmesg: $ dmesg -T ... [Fri Mar 6 06:02:19 2015] bio: create slab at 1 [Fri Mar 6 06:02:19 2015] EXT4-fs (dm-6): 1 orphan inode deleted [Fri Mar 6 06:02:19 2015] EXT4-fs (dm-6): recovery complete ... So the orphan inode in the snapshot (i.e. dm-6) gets deleted but it remains in the underlying volume. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1130611 Title: Upstart never closes /var/log/upstart/mysql.log Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I ran "init u" after noticing a lingering FD to a log file that lsof showed as "(deleted)".

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1130611] Re: Upstart never closes /var/log/upstart/mysql.log
oops, looks like I spoke too soon. The report from dmesg mentioned in my previous comment has gone away on reboot. I believe the cause may have been a fault in my /etc/rc.local file, which may not have been completing. This is fixed now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1130611 Title: Upstart never closes /var/log/upstart/mysql.log Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I ran "init u" after noticing a lingering FD to a log file that lsof showed as "(deleted)".
