Install hanging on chef post recipie

Trying install gitlab-ce on Ubuntu 20.04 with apt-get and it hangs. An strace of the post install chef script shows this over and over again:

ppoll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, {tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=135944188}, NULL, 8) = 0 (Timeout)
read(3, 0x7ffe6eea31e8, 8)              = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
stat("/opt/gitlab/service/logrotate/supervise/ok", 0x7ffe6eea32c0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
ppoll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, {tv_sec=1, tv_nsec=0}, NULL, 8) = 0 (Timeout)
read(3, 0x7ffe6eea31e8, 8)              = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
stat("/opt/gitlab/service/logrotate/supervise/ok", 0x7ffe6eea32c0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
ppoll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, {tv_sec=1, tv_nsec=0}, NULL, 8) = 0 (Timeout)

Tried creating that directory but then it hangs on stating it over and over.

On Ubuntu 12.04? Shouldn’t you use a newer Ubuntu release?

Sorry, I meant 20.04 but my left hand betrayed me.

I’ve done minimal Ubuntu installs of 20.04 with gitlab-ce and never seen such error. Although that would have been once of the 13.x releases.

Are you installing using these instructions for the omnibus version: Download and install GitLab | GitLab

Or are you doing a docker or source install?

None docker from the link you sourced. The same procedure worked yesterday. Might be some weird storage glitch. Going to poke at it more.

Yep, SAN LUN was mounted in two places, confusing the install.
