If symlink points to NFS (hard) mounted directory and NFS server is down, running "sysyemctl list-unit-files" result in systemd hanging and no more responding to anything. No way to switch vt (which is spawned on demand), no way to reboot system, nothing. Killing systemctl itself does not help, as it is systemd which crawls directories, not systemctl in this case.
Apparently any other operation which requires systemd to access unit file would give the same result. Having (part of) filesystem on NFS is not that unrealistic, so it can happen even unintentionally. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
