Can you please provide some basic information on how you are seeing this:

• What version of workflow?
• What version of Kubernetes?
• How is it deployed?
• Is there a set of instructions to re-create this issue?
• Have you gone through the troubleshooting guide?

This does appear to be an issue upstream with systemd, perhaps with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1555760.

There are some workarounds suggested in influxdata/telegraf#1352 that users can try. A pervasive fix requires Ubuntu to make changes to systemd or binfmt, which is something many people are still waiting for sadly.

I'm going to move this to the next milestone since there's nothing currently actionable for Workflow here IMHO.

@vdice Was this issue fixed on v2.12 ? Or re-tagged on v2.13 or later?

[bacongobbler]

This issue was never resolved; see above

[monaka]

Ah, I see.

[michalkm]

Any updates or workarounds on this matter ?

[jchauncey]

See earlier in the thread. As it stands this is not a fix that we can make on the workflow end it has to be fixed in an upstream project.
