Subject: [PVE-User] Service "systemd-tmpfiles-setup" fails since upgrade to PVE 7.x
Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2022 12:08:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19fec87f-3c95-b03c-5a50-de649771cc3a@dkfz-heidelberg.de> (raw)

Dear all,

since the upgrade of our PVE environment from 6.x to 7.2-4 last week, 
our monitoring (CheckMK) registers, that the service 
"systemd-tmpfiles-setup" fails in all containers (not in the VMs, 
though).  The containers have been created from the provided CentOS 7.9 
templates and are fully updated. The containers have all been created 
under PVE 5.x and 6.x.

I'm not familiar with "systemd-tmpfiles-setup" and I could not relate 
similar failure reports found in the net to our situation.

The status that we get is:
--------------------------------------------------------------
[root@odcf-vm119 ~]# systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service

Can anyone tell, what the problem could be or in which direction we 
should try to search for the problem?


I might also just migrate all containers to VMs, if that is a good or 
recommended solution to get rid of this problem.  I currently don't see 
the benefit of containers over VMs anyway at this moment :-)

Cheers and thanks in advance
Frank
