Hi, I setup armbian version 5.6 (Ubuntu 16.04.5 Xenial) on OrangePI PC. Working long time without problem. But after power failure I found that directories in /var/run have bad permissions and some daemons won't start. After investigation I found failure start of systemd-tmpfiles:

  

systemd-tmpfiles[210]: Failed to fstat() file /dev/btrfs-control: Bad file descriptor
systemd-tmpfiles[210]: Failed to fstat() file /dev/net: Bad file descriptor
systemd-tmpfiles[210]: Failed to fstat() file /dev/net/tun: Bad file descriptor

I setup debug loglevel and got this: 

systemd-tmpfiles[210]: Failed to fstat() file /dev/btrfs-control: Bad file descriptor
systemd-tmpfiles[210]: Running create action for entry d /dev/net
systemd-tmpfiles[210]: Created directory "/dev/net".
systemd-tmpfiles[210]: Failed to fstat() file /dev/net: Bad file descriptor
systemd-tmpfiles[210]: Running create action for entry c /dev/net/tun
systemd-tmpfiles[210]: Created char device node "/dev/net/tun" 1:128.
systemd-tmpfiles[210]: Failed to fstat() file /dev/net/tun: Bad file descriptor

Corrupted filesystem? I created /forcefsck and reboot. But /dev directory is not on root filesystem and is dynamicaly created.

 

I apologize for my English, Thanks.

Hi,

I have two orange pi zero devices. But I can't log in via putty to both devices. There is connection refused error. Syslog contains this line:

Nov 21 09:15:43 localhost sshd[996]: Missing privilege separation directory: /var/run/sshd

 

But if I create this dir manually, ssh starts fine.. until next boot.

 

I suppose it happens because 'systemd-tmpfiles-setup' service start failed at system boot:

[FAILED] Failed to start Create Volatile Files and Directories.
See 'systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service' for details.

 

Also before this message the boot log contains these lines:

..

[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
See 'systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service' for details.

..
[FAILED] Failed to start Create Static Device Nodes in /dev.
See 'systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev.service' for details.

..

 

The first device has ARMBIAN 5.60 stable Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS 3.4.113-sun8i, the second - ARMBIAN 5.35 user-built Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 3.4.113-sun8i

 

How to fix it?

1. h2tesw test finished without errors.

2. I wrote Armbian 5.35 image. Change root pswd, reboot. SSH is ok.

3. Then unattended upgrades are run. After upgrading the OS has 5.60 ver. Reboot. And now SSH service start failed at system boot. I can't log in via putty.

Why so?

Similarly, on Orange Pi One and CubieTruck. The sshd cannot find the /var/run/sshd folder, it simply does not exist. After creating the folder and starting the service, everything works until the reboot. And after a reboot, the same thing again: sshd cannot find the /var/run/sshd folder... Orange Pi One works on uSD card, but CubieTruck works on SATA SSD.

And again Ubuntu Xenial which could and is most likely broken upstream. We can't do anything about that.

I found issue trigger. After this upgrade: 

Packages that will be upgraded: libnss-myhostname libpam-systemd libpython2.7-minimal libpython2.7-stdlib libpython3.5 libpython3.5-minimal libpython3.5-stdlib libsystemd0 libudev1 linux-libc-dev python2.7 python2.7-minimal python3.5 python3.5-minimal systemd systemd-sysv udev

 

the 'systemd-tmpfiles-setup' service start failed at system boot.

Me neither but its pretty irrelevant. I noticed that building of Ubuntu(s) is/are failing with lots of errors and systemd has this issue. It is highly possible that this is related. I can give you detail report in a few weeks, but then it will be irrelevant again.

In case you were installing INSTALL_HEADERS="yes" you could run out of space. Affected Ubuntu builds and was fixed. But this systemd problem remains.
