Public bug reported: On an Ubuntu 12.04.1 system, each time you start and stop a container, "initctl status" shows two more instances of network-interface and network-interface-security running. The numbers do not go down after the container shuts down. Evidently there's an interface leak in lxc-start?
Here's how I ran into this. Hosting a small number of buildbots in one-shot ephemeral LXC containers, in which the LXC container is stop and started after each build, after two days of uptime, running the commands while true do time initctl list | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -n 3 done outputs 1 wait-for-state 6003 network-interface 11990 network-interface-security real 0m19.428s 1 wait-for-state 6004 network-interface 11994 network-interface-security real 0m19.271s If I stop the buildbots, the numbers stop rising. This broke my build. I can work around this by rebooting every night, but I'd sure rather not. ** Affects: lxc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065589 Title: "initctl list" shows 11974 instances of network-interface-security after two days of uptime To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1065589/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
