Priority: medium
Bug ID: 59949
Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: Completely breaks down if it fails to start
dbus.service
QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
Severity: major
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: mbiebl at gmail.com
Hardware: Other
Status: NEW
Version: unspecified
Component: general
Product: systemd
Version: 197 (F18)
Seems my selinux fs labels got hosed somehow in my F18 VM. As a result, on next
reboot, systemd failed to start dbus.service and went completely nuts trying to
start it over and over again. All I could do was to forcefully reboot (and
start with selinux=0 and forcing a relabel).
You can easily "simulate" the problem by using
ExecStart=/bin/false in dbus.service.
systemd should behave much better in such a case. The least it can do is to
stop trying after a while and offer a rescue shell or just continue to boot,
since systemd should still be basically functional without a running dbus
system bus.
