04/28/2026, 5:54 PMnever seen that before. containerd and kubelet are child processes of the main rke2 process and should be terminated when it exits. How exactly are you running rke2?

04/29/2026, 7:37 AMI have seen weird behavior when using sudo. Try getting a full root shell with su instead.

05/03/2026, 5:06 PMWith version 1.34.4 I see 4 containerd-shim leftover processes, when running in a root shell (I have a modified data-dir, if that adds some relevant information).

05/04/2026, 2:59 AMThat's normal. Containers don't stop running when kubelet and containerd are stopped.
