Kickstarts from Spacewalk take roughly 2-3 times as long as they should and the load on the Spacewalk server is around 4-5 on rlx-0-04.rhndev. The slowness starts as the machine is downloading packages from the Spacewalk box. Watch top and you can see httpd and oracle taking up most of the resources on the box.
I think this may have just been a temporary problem, as the issue has gone away. Moving to modified just to be tested.
Customers are still reporting this in 0.4. Re-opening.
Short term workaround for this bug: * Edit: /etc/httpd/conf.d/zz-spacewalk-server.conf Add: EnableMMAP off, EnableSendfile off to the Directory stanza: <Directory "/var/www/html"> AllowOverride all EnableMMAP off EnableSendfile off </Directory> * Add this index to your database: # sqlplus spacewalk/spacewalk@xe SQL> CREATE INDEX rhn_package_path_idx ON rhnPackage(id, path);

i have the java port of the kickstart file downloader 90% complete but it is failing a few of my testcases. Might not make 0.5 but I may release packages right after 0.5 goes out.
ON_QA
Greetings Mike, I think you forgot to create rhn_package_path_idx index in the schema itself; right now the index is present in the sql upgrade script (153-rhnPackage-pathidx.sql) only.
FAILS_QA, see comment #8
will fix!

This actually should still be in FAILS_QA. Discovered some fatal errors while kickstarting systems so it should not be tested.
Spacewalk 0.5 released.
Spacewalk 0.5 has been released for long time ago.
