Bug ID: 1200682 Summary: rsyslog hangs during shutdown Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: oliver@schwabedissen.name QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: ---

Since one of the last snapshots my system takes very log to shutdown. I found that there is a 90 second timeout when trying to stop system logging services.

The message I see is

"A stop job is running for system logging service (1 min 30 sec)"

After 90 seconds rsyslog is killed and shutdown continues.

I also see this when trying to stop rsyslog on a running system (systemctl stop rsyslog.service):

Jun 19 09:03:14 frodo systemd[1]: Stopping System Logging Service... Jun 19 09:04:44 frodo systemd[1]: rsyslog.service: State 'stop-sigterm' timed out. Killing. Jun 19 09:04:44 frodo systemd[1]: rsyslog.service: Killing process 1783 (rsyslogd) with signal SIGKILL. Jun 19 09:04:44 frodo systemd[1]: rsyslog.service: Killing process 1787 (in:imklog) with signal SIGKILL. Jun 19 09:04:44 frodo systemd[1]: rsyslog.service: Killing process 1788 (rs:main Q:Reg) with signal SIGKILL. Jun 19 09:04:44 frodo systemd[1]: rsyslog.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=9/KILL Jun 19 09:04:44 frodo systemd[1]: rsyslog.service: Failed with result 'timeout'. Jun 19 09:04:44 frodo systemd[1]: Stopped System Logging Service.

I found a thread about this in the openSUSE forums: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/571409-Ninety-second-shutdown-del...

Some tried to replace rsyslog with syslog-ng which solved the problem. But this is a workaround and I think a fix should be found.
