** Description changed: === Begin SRU Template === [Impact] Some recent systemd related cloud-init changes in 0.7.7-28-g34a26f7-0ubuntu1 and later caused systemd 'ordering cycle' around the walinuxagent provided ephemeral-disk-warning.service . The result would be that journalctl would report: Breaking ordering cycle by deleting job ephemeral-disk-warning.service/start Due to a order cycle * An explanation of the effects of the bug on users and * justification for backporting the fix to the stable release. * In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an explanation of how the upload fixes this bug. [Test Case] Boot system on azure, then run: $ journalctl | grep -i "ordering cycle" There *should* be no ordering cycles in our boot. $ systemctl status ephemeral-disk-warning.service | grep Condition Condition: start condition failed at Tue 2016-09-20 16:15:03 UTC; 37min ago That is the failure, to show it functional and fixed $ echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc)-proposed main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list $ sudo apt-get update -qy $ sudo apt-get -qy install walinuxagent $ dpkg-query --show walinuxagent $ sudo reboot Then repeat the above, and you should see no 'ordering cycle' messages, and $ systemctl status ephemeral-disk-warning.service | grep Active Active: active (exited) since Tue 2016-09-20 17:08:46 UTC; 1h 0min ago And the file that gets created should be there. $ ls -l /mnt/DATALOSS_WARNING_README.txt -r--r--r-- 1 root root 639 Sep 20 17:08 /mnt/DATALOSS_WARNING_README.txt [Regression Potential] Changing order of boot is quite often painful due to subtle changes and the overall newness of systemd. The changes here are fairly well tested and fix an issue. Worst case, that job does not run (as it does not run now) and we do not get the file created. [Other Info] + This is fallout of fix for bug 1576692. Full description of the fix is: - debian/ephemeral-disk-warning.service: avoid systemd ordering cycle - - ephemeral-disk-warning.service had 'WantedBy' of multi-user.target - which implies "Before" of multi-user.target. It also had - After of cloud-final.service. Since cloud-final.service is now - After multi-user.target, that caused the cycle. - - Relax this to be only After cloud-config.service which will run - before multi-user.target does and avoid the cycle. - - Also add a 'Description'. - - LP: #1624596 + debian/ephemeral-disk-warning.service: avoid systemd ordering cycle + + ephemeral-disk-warning.service had 'WantedBy' of multi-user.target + which implies "Before" of multi-user.target.
