From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6 Description of problem: On both kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 & kernel-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 the box will lockup when I start an rsync over SSH from a client. No kernel panic, just hung, responds to ping packets and the prompt keeps blinking, but nothing else. I'm transfering about 11GB with many many files. The "building file list" part is fine, then about 30 seconds into the transfer... pop. This can be solved by disabling selinux. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4, glibc-2.3.5-10.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. From any machine do this rsync -rav --rsh=ssh /var/data xxx.xxx.xxx:/tmp 2. Wait ~30 seconds. Files will start to transfer and then everything stops. Actual Results: Interestingly, the client never times out, the terminal session to the server never stops ( even pressing 'enter' key makes a new line ). But nothing else happens on the box and a power cycle is needed. Expected Results: Files go Whoooshhhh over the cable and land on disk. Additional info: There are no kernel messages either on console, nor in messages. I left top running on the server and this was the last screen dump : top - 16:27:01 up 16 min, 1 user, load average: 0.38, 0.10, 0.06 Tasks: 58 total, 1 running, 57 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 3.0% us, 18.8% sy, 0.0% ni, 35.9% id, 41.6% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.7% si Mem: 1023568k total, 508976k used, 514592k free, 40280k buffers Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 99340k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 2329 root 16 0 282m 266m 744 D 37.3 26.6 0:01.42 rsync 2253 root 15 0 38524 2876 2096 S 6.3 0.3 0:01.62 sshd Nothing crazy going on there and the cursor is still blinking. The rsync and SSH running on the client are stuck on an unfinished "select()" call. tethereal shows no traffic between the two (ohh by the way how do you get ethereal to show a more tcpdump style output so I can actually see the ports things are coming from / going to?).
Mass update to all FC4 bugs: An update has been released (2.6.13-1.1526_FC4) which rebases to a new upstream kernel (2.6.13.2).
