I want to start with saying all LHC apps work perfect and I have no issues BUT, I get this in the syslog 20-30 times a day. Mar 24 07:27:49 pm111 kernel: overlayfs: failed to clone lowerpath Mar 24 07:48:17 pm111 kernel: overlayfs: failed to clone lowerpath Mar 24 07:48:17 pm111 kernel: overlayfs: failed to clone lowerpath Mar 24 08:04:34 pm111 kernel: overlayfs: failed to clone lowerpath Mar 24 08:04:34 pm111 kernel: overlayfs: failed to clone lowerpath This is a plain Debian 12 CLI install with the addition of cvmfs and Oracle VirtualBox + Boinc. It's only used for running the LHC apps. I have not installed overlayfs but looking at which modules are installed I have the overlay module listed and it's listed in /proc/filesystems I assume cvmfs or VirtualBox install overlayfs? Anyone came across this and found a solution? As everything is working it can't be any serious problem but something is not 100% ok. I will continue google digging but not much info available. [EDIT] Checked a couple of Debian 12 servers that doesn't have cvmfs or virtualbox installed they do not have the overlayfs module installed. I found that servers with docker has it installed. I don't have any server with only cvmfs or any server with only VirtualBox installed so I can't be sure which one is causing the issue. |
