Public bug reported: This issue appears to be a consequence of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nova/+bug/1420572 where we added a 'wait-for-state running' to the nova-compute upstart so as to ensure that neutron-ovs-cleanup has finished before nova-compute starts.
I have started to spot, however, that on some hosts (metal only) there is now a race between the two whereby nova-compute fails to start or boot/reboot with the following in /var/log/upstart/nova-compute.log: ... libvirt-bin stop/waiting wait-for-state stop/waiting neutron-ovs-cleanup start/pre-start, process 3084 start: Job failed to start If I manually restart nova-compute all is fine. So this looks like a race between nova-compute's wait-for-state and neutron-ovs-cleanup's pre-start -> start/running. ** Affects: neutron (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: New ** Package changed: nova (Ubuntu) => neutron (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to nova in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1471022 Title: [SRU] race between nova-compute and neutron-ovs-cleanup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/neutron/+bug/1471022/+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
