There is a difference between cloud-init sometimes running after local- fs.target and being guaranteed to run after local-fs.target. The change here guarantees it.
For the moment, this isn't too bad, as cloud-init can't really affect local-fs.target because it isn't guaranteed to run before. But I suspect we will change that at some point, which would cause a dependency loop. Could someone that can recreate this actually collect *all* output of systemctl status open-vm-tools or even more ideally, modifying the job to 'strace -o -ff /run/open-vm-tools.' and then collecting the /run/open-vm-tools files -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750780 Title: Race with local file systems can make open-vm-tools fail to start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1750780/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
