Description

I just upgraded my docker-gitlab to version 12.5.2. And I found a lot of INFO reaped unknown pid <pid-number> messages in the log of gitlab.

2019-12-25 03:18:24,637 INFO reaped unknown pid 44831
2019-12-25 03:18:27,127 INFO reaped unknown pid 44863
2019-12-25 03:18:29,721 INFO reaped unknown pid 44876
2019-12-25 03:18:30,251 INFO reaped unknown pid 44889
2019-12-25 03:18:32,941 INFO reaped unknown pid 44902
...

The messages are found by running docker logs -f <docker-gitlab-container-id>.

Does anyone know if this is a normal phenomenon or not?

Research direction

Start with docker-gitlab version 12.5.2 and the output from docker logs -f <docker-gitlab-container-id>. Investigate what produces the repeated INFO reaped unknown pid messages and whether they indicate a problem. Done means establishing whether this behavior is normal and documenting the explanation or identifying a specific fix.
