I figured out our problem. We lowered `fs.nr_open` on the non-working systems from the - apparent default - of `1048576` to `655360`. The docker package set a limit higher than our new limit, so the process was failing to start.
Upstart is going away - boo - but in case anyone sees this issue in the future, running the following was the fix for me: ``` sysctl -w fs.nr_open=1048576 ``` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1420640 Title: upstart job fails to start with "limit nofile unlimited unlimited" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/1420640/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
