Observation¶

This problem showed up in https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/os-autoinst/openQA/9123/workflows/42eb45bf-126b-43be-97f4-b64af16c27ed/jobs/86387/steps (PR: https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/4496) and is again a problem of the os-autoinst test itself - or rather unexpected behavior of the SUT.

Checkout the attached log file and especially to see what's going on. Summary:

• sudo poweroff is not typed completely (only sudo pow)
• After the prompt, the following message is logged:

udevadm settle - timeout of 5 seconds reached, the event queue contains
  /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:07/virtio3/block/vda (1174)

• Then nothing happens so we see the usual log messages in autoinst-log.txt complaining that the system doesn't shutdown.

Further details¶

• mkittler had to conduct approximediately 60 runs of openQA's fullstack test in circleCI to show the problem once. (And one run of openQA's fullstack test runs the problematic openQA test at least two times.)

Suggestions¶

• Only if we actually see it at least a second time we should look into this again
• Try to send the command again e.g. 2-3 times
