lxd-armhf1 (8 CPUs) is again in a state where "lxc list" and even "top" hang forever. lxd-armhf2 was unfortunately shutdown in the previous days, so I just booted it again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.l

Another data point: I tried to install 3.19 (the kernel that we have on the buildds) on the xlarge instance, and lxc list now hangs there as well. I haven't yet seem lxc list hang on a large (4 CPUs) instance, but the whole thing (running tests in containers) is still very slow. TBC on Monday.. -

I did install haveged which indeed seems to help quite a bit. But now after having used an xlarge (8 CPU) instance for a while, I again get hanging processes, like ubuntu2317 0.0 0.0 0 0 pts/0D+ 16:14 0:00 [tail] I used that tail on /var/log/lxd/lxd.log to see what's going

The lxc hangs component looks to be an lxd related issue. Specificially the go libraries in use consume a large ammount of entropy and hang waiting for it to become available. Installing haveged seems to resolve these hangs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubun

I retried the same on m1.medium with 2 CPUs and 4 GB RAM, and lxd works fine there with the 4.2 kernel on wily. Unfortunately that's too small for my purposes. m1.large with 4 CPUs/8 GB RAM also seems to work well, I can make-do with that. William points out that the hosts on bos01 only have 8 CPU
