- Status changed from New to In Progress
Despite rebootmgr.service being failed, systemd showed tons of processes for that service. Somehow this service turned into a fork bomb that until Connection to D-BUS system message bus failed: The maximum number of active connections for UID 0 has been reached.. Invoking sudo systemctl kill rebootmgr.service and sudo systemctl start rebootmgr.service fixed the issue. The unit is now active with only one sub process. Maybe this is worth reporting an upstream issue. I don't think there's a misconfiguration on our side but I also don't know this rebootmgr machinery very well.
- Subject changed from D-Bus-related problem on backup.qa.suse.de to rebootmgr/D-Bus-related problem on backup.qa.suse.de
- Status changed from In Progress to Feedback
For now I've filed https://github.com/SUSE/rebootmgr/issues/15 but since this issue is hard to reproduce I'm not sure whether the issue can be fixed any time soon. Not sure what to do about it on our side. Maybe we can just hope that we won't run into the problem again.
- Target version set to Ready
- Status changed from Feedback to Resolved
The upstream bug report has been closed. Likely there's nothing one can do about it upstream anyways.
I've checked the dbus logs but could only find Mar 02 09:48:15 backup-vm dbus-daemon[717]: [system] The maximum number of active connections for UID 0 has been reached (max_connections_per_user=256) which is already a symptom.
Since this problem occurred only one time so far I wouldn't try to investigate this any further.
