Failed to get properties: Activation of org.freedesktop.systemd1 timed out

Question

Getting the below error while running systemctl status commands in my RHEL 7 linux server.

# systemctl status docker.service
Failed to get properties: Activation of org.freedesktop.systemd1 timed out

I see the login also is slow. What could be the problem?

Can you add your reasoning behind this? – Dave M Feb 06 '17 at 21:39
The beauty of this situation, is that you can't even gracefully reboot: `Failed to start reboot.target: Activation of org.freedesktop.systemd1 timed out` – faxmodem Jan 29 '18 at 07:46
