So the processes are almost certainly tied to the mountall-shell job. Does the problem happen after every reboot? When it does occur, you can confirm that it's the mountall-shell job by running 'sudo service mountall-shell status', which probably shows that the service is start/running.
There's nothing in mountall that would trigger this behavior because of a plymouth failure; anything that caused mountall to fail should also have printed a line out in the upstart log. So this looks like mountall is instead dying with a signal from outside. Any idea what could be causing such a thing on your system? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1197789 Title: Upstart upgrades are creating problematic processes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/1197789/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
