Description Chris Runge 2004-02-04 17:02:28 UTC
Description of problem:

satellite-sync has a random tendency to hang. There is no visible
indication of the reason for this. CTRL-C is unable to break out of
the hang. The satellite-sync process must be identified and manually
killed before restarting.

The problem is random. This past weekend while syncing the RHEL 3
WS/AS trees it happened every hour or so. A sync of the RHEL 2.1 AS
tree last night/today had no hangs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rhn-satellite-3.0.9-11

How reproducible:

difficult to reproduce with any consistency

I captured this satellite-debug output when the satellite-sync was hung

Comment 3 Mihai Ibanescu 2004-02-05 18:13:12 UTC
Chris, whenever this happens again, can you try to find the PID of the
satellite-sync process and then send us the output of:

strace -p <PID>
lsof -p <PID>

Being difficult to reproduce, I'll have to try and figure out what's
going on...

Comment 4 Greg DeKoenigsberg 2004-03-02 22:16:10 UTC
Let's keep an eye on this going forward.

Comment 5 Chris Runge 2004-04-01 13:49:10 UTC
I haven't had this problem as of yet with the 3.2-10 installer.

Comment 6 Greg DeKoenigsberg 2004-04-02 14:17:28 UTC
We'll leave this open for a while.

Comment 7 Chris Runge 2004-04-21 19:51:30 UTC
closing... I haven't seen this in the 3.2 GA version
