For any poor soul who wanders here, here is the best known workaround for this issue I've seen to date:
22-09-2016 15:23:18 < stgraber!~stgraber@ubuntu/member/stgraber: cmars: if you mask (systemctl mask) the systemd units related to binfmt (systemctl -a | grep binfmt) and reboot, then the problem is gone for good. This is related to systemd's use of automount and not to binfmt- misc (which just ships a bunch of binfmt hooks) FYI, I think this will disable binfmt. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1555760 Title: Too many levels of symbolic links /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/binfmt-support/+bug/1555760/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
