Description of problem: conga hangs probing storage on xen cluster nodes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.10.0-6.el5 How reproducible: every time! Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a xen cluster, where the nodes have a primary disk called xvda 2. install conga (and the appropriate additional packages) 3. use the luci interface to probe storage on one of the cluster nodes. Actual results: a large number of parted processes on the cluster node, which hang while trying to probe the storage devices on that node. Expected results: luci displays the storage devices attached to that particular node. Additional info: This seems to be related to the device names used by the nodes. It may actually be a parted problem (or the way we use parted for this). If the disks used by the xen machines are renamed to 'hd*' (or, I assume sd* - didn't test this) the storage probe returns immediately and works properly.
After some more searching, it may well be #366971 causing this. Seems likely.
A bug in parted is causing the hang, but conga should handle that kind of behavior better. Duping into the RFE to support multiple concurrent tasks on a busy entity, if possible. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 238935 ***
