Bug#528663: vzctl stop timeout after upgrade to linux-image-2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64
Version: 2.6.26-15
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
After the upgrade from linux-image-2.6.26-1-openvz-amd64 to
linux-image-2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64, it's no longer possible to shutdown
some virtual environments by calling "vzctl stop".
The operation times out after a while, no other trace in left in the
logfile (/var/log/vzctl.log).
root@auyantepui:~# vzctl stop 124
Stopping VE ...
Unable to stop VE: operation timed out
root@auyantepui:~#
The same hardware, a Dell PowerEdge 1800 server, booted with the previous
openvz kernel (linux-image-2.6.26-1-openvz-amd64) does not experience
this problem.
Interestingly, on impacted systems, running the sync command takes ages.
root@auyantepui:~# time sync
real 0m15.360s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.084s
root@auyantepui:~#
Unfortunately we did not manage to reproduce this problem on a fresh
Debian lenny installation in a virtual machine running under VirtualBox.
