Description Rich Megginson 2007-10-12 21:40:49 UTC
The unique ID generator is not initialized if import is run from the command
line.  The bad effect of this is that the clock sequence and node fields are all
zeros.  This could lead to duplicate unique IDs being assigned by two different
servers.

Fix Description: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330141#c0
What happens is that the uuid values all look like this:
XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-80000000-00000000
So the time based part is generally ok, but the clock seq and node ID part are
never initialized, hence 0's for those fields.
The fix is to initialize the unique id generator in the same manner as we do
for the server when it starts up in regular mode, except that we tell the
generator to use the single threaded (st) mode rather than the multi threaded
(mt) mode.
Platforms tested: RHEL5 x86_64
