Description of problem: After a fresh Raw Hide install I got this message from sa1: From: root.redhat.com (Cron Daemon) To: root.redhat.com Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2006 09:10:02 +0100 Subject: Cron <root@trash> /usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1 realloc: Success Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sysstat-7.0.0-1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: [root@trash ~]# /usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1 realloc: Success
This box was behaving oddly in other ways due to bug 201002 and I can no longer reproduce with the i686 kernel booted. Marking NEEDINFO until I have a proper reproducer.
I am seeing this again. Fresh @Everything install of Raw Hide. Correct glibc, correct kernel. [root@trash ~]# /usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1 realloc: Success
I try to reproduce this problem on today's rawhide (i386) but the command works right. Could you please attach a strace here of broken sa run.
Same problem on final Fedora Core 6 (i686). See attachement with strace output.
Created attachment 140116 [details] strace /usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1
Found a solution myself: Removing /var/log/sa/sa02 made the message go away. According to "ls -lZ" the new file has a different SELinux context (system_u -> user_u), but funny thing is that I'm running SELinux in permissive mode (not enforcing), so contexts shouldn't have any meaning to applications (except they'd check it themselves). There are no warnings in /var/log/messages. Maybe it helps other people as well. (actual filename depends on day of month, of course)
This is a known upstream bug: http://perso.orange.fr/sebastien.godard/changelog.html Upgrading to 7.0.1 or 7.0.2 fixes it.
Fixed in sysstat-7.0.2-3.fc7.
