Upstream requests updating this patch: ---------------- Hmm, so I have discussed this with some folks, and it seems we do need something like this as the kernel will not help us here.
However, I don't think the patch is acceptable: there are other reasons why EIO might be returned. Since we cannot distuingish the error causes we need at least a safe way out. My suggestion would be to retry opening 20 times and then give up. In systemd I have settled to use 20 times with 50ms in between, totalling to 1s in total. Could you please update the patch? I'll then merge it. ------------------- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544139 Title: Active VT tracking can fail at startup -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
