22:07 < rbasak> lifeless: could that be an errant upstart job, perhaps, causing some sort of loop? If it is an upstart bug, you haven't provided the release
                or version of upstart or anything.
22:08 < lifeless> rbasak: oh sorry ! still gathering data but saucy
22:08 < lifeless> rbasak: so yes, certainly an errant job, but that should never be able to wedge upstart
22:08 < lifeless> rbasak: upstarts job is to be unwedgable ;)
22:09 -!- StathisA [~<email address hidden>] has joined #ubuntu-server
22:10 < rbasak> jodh: ^^
22:10 -!- Kwiirk [~Kwiirk@95.249.56.99] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
22:11 < rbasak> lifeless: agreed, but is upstart actually wedged there? Or is it trying as hard as it can to do what an errant upstart job might have said,
                while still being able to process other things?
22:14 < lifeless> rbasak: service nova-compute stop hangs
22:14 < lifeless> rbasak: even though the nova-compute process can be killed (have done so) and is now a zombie
22:15 < lifeless> rbasak: also can't reboot the machine
