2011-11-28 16:00:04 Serge Hallyn description I used LXC on this machine. Therefore I had to add a cgroup mount and added the recommended line none /cgroup cgroup defaults 0 0 to /etc/fstab. This results in an unbootable system after upgrade to Oneiric. Apparently the boot just stops when it comes to mounting the entries in /etc/fstab. I would expect that either a) the system doesn't hang when this is added to /etc/fstab b) on upgrade the package detects this condition and removes/comments the according line in /etc/fstab so that the system is still bootable.

SRU Justification: 1: Impact: failure to boot! 2: Development fix: don't start cgroup-lite if cgroups are mounted by fstab 3: Stable fix: same as development fix 4: Test case: a. add cgroup entry to /etc/ftab, i.e. mkdir /cgroup echo "cgroup /cgroup cgroup defaults 0 0" > /etc/fstab b. install cgroup-lite c. reboot 5: Regression potential: if the patch were wrong, we might end up with cgroup-lite not mounting cgroups when it should.
