I'm using sys-process/dcron-4.5-r2 and don't use systemd. But I do use udev: sys-apps/systemd-utils-254.5-r2 pulled in by: virtual/libudev-251-r2 requires >=sys-apps/systemd-utils-251[udev,abi_x86_32(-),abi_x86_64(-)] virtual/tmpfiles-0-r5 requires sys-apps/systemd-utils[tmpfiles] virtual/udev-217-r7 requires sys-apps/systemd-utils[udev] As a result of these deps I get installed /etc/cron.daily/systemd-tmpfiles-clean, which hangs when executed and thus result in hanging the whole cron service (because it waits until this script will exits). Not sure what's the problem is, here is tail of strace output: # strace -ff systemd-tmpfiles --clean ... read(5, "", 1024) = 0 close(5) = 0 statx(4, "ad_mailbox_2880_0_6_evt_subevt_10", AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT|AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW|AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT, STATX_TYPE|STATX_MODE|STATX_UID|STATX_ATIME|STATX_MTIME|STATX_CTIME|STATX_BTIME, {stx_mask=STATX_ALL|STATX_MNT_ID, stx_attributes=0, stx_mode=S_IFIFO|0777, stx_size=0, ...}) = 0 openat(4, "ad_mailbox_2880_0_6_evt_subevt_10", O_RDONLY|O_NOFOLLOW|O_NOATIME|O_CLOEXEC Unrelated to this issue, but I prefer to have no systemd-related cron tasks on system which doesn't use systemd at all.
Is there something special about your system that causes that openat call to hang?
selinux, apparmor, etc, perhaps? emerge --info would be useful too.

(In reply to Sam James from comment #2) > selinux, apparmor, etc, perhaps? No and no. Only special about my system is I use runit to both boot system and run services instead of openrc/systemd.
(Re)Emerging sys-apps/systemd-utils-254.8 result in changing permissions for /etc/cron.daily/systemd-tmpfiles-clean from non-executable (permission set manually) to executable. Should I report this as a separate issue?
Also I can't emerge sys-apps/systemd-utils with USE=-tmpfiles because: sys-apps/systemd-utils[tmpfiles] required by (virtual/tmpfiles-0-r5:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE="-systemd" ABI_X86="(64)" And I can't unmerge virtual/tmpfiles because it is required by 25 other packages. So… why virtual/tmpfiles with USE="-systemd" required sys-apps/systemd-utils[tmpfiles]?
I removed the cleanup options tmp.conf in systemd-utils. I have no idea what would cause openat to hang your system. You will need to debug that further yourself. Regarding the mode on /etc/cron.daily/systemd-tmpfiles-clean, Portage doesn't config-protect the mode. You could simply remove the file entirely as a workaround, which Portage should respect.
(In reply to Mike Gilbert from comment #7) > I have no idea what would cause openat to hang your system. You will need to > debug that further yourself. Any ideas how to debug it further? I don't know systemd internals so for now strace is the last step which comes to my mind and I've no idea how to bisect this further. > Regarding the mode on /etc/cron.daily/systemd-tmpfiles-clean, Portage > doesn't config-protect the mode. You could simply remove the file entirely > as a workaround, which Portage should respect. I don't like to remove such files because it's hard to find out later which ones were removed and what should be re-emerged to restore them. Making these files (non)executable is a standard way to configure cron, so maybe portage should be improved to protect their mode?
I agree that having portage config protect the file mode would be nice. I think there is already a bug open for that, but I cant find it at the moment.
systemd-tmpfiles follows the XDG config path standard (man 5 tmpfiles.d), so if you figure out which file in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d causes the hang and create a blank one with the same name in /etc/tmpfiles.d, it will disable that part. I'm using it under runit and cronie with no hangs fwiw, although it does regularly pollute my inbox with cronspam about non-fatal error conditions.

File /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf contains these two lines: q /tmp 1777 root root 10d q /var/tmp 1777 root root 30d Removing first line also fixes the hang. # ls -ld /tmp /var/tmp drwxrwxrwt 170 root root 225280 Mar 29 19:34 /tmp drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 4096 Mar 29 19:31 /var/tmp
I found an issue upstream.
The hang issue should be fixed in systemd-utils-254.10.
(In reply to Mike Gilbert from comment #13) > The hang issue should be fixed in systemd-utils-254.10. I can confirm this version won't hang. Thanks!
