https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480047 Not quite certain if I agree it is NOT A BUG ...
fixed! very bizarre issue. flock is more forgiving in such cases looks like. So I decided to try fcntl and if it raises an IOError switch to flock. commit 6e026c1a371ad809046f1720b684cc6ef81100dc
Thanks, just updated satellite packages to Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090220.1 embedded DB, restarted satellite and sync runs nicely!

Hi I'am a running the following configuration : * two RHEL 5.3 x86_64 machines * Satellite 5.2 * a shared disk on two EMC Cx4 managed by Veritas Volume Manager with a vxfs volume on top * Veritas Cluster Suite controlling the fail over of the Satellite We have also two Proxy running on RHEL 5.3 x86_64 with Satellite Proxy 5.2 I have tried with two clients, one running RHEL 4U6 and one running RHEL5.1, and I'm facing the same problem of the infamous IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument. If I make a up2date -i or a yum install or yum check-update, I have the error on my proxy Extra information about this error: Unhandled exception type Exception Handler Information Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/rhn/proxy/apacheServer.py", line 55, in __call__ ret = f(req) File "/usr/share/rhn/proxy/apacheHandler.py", line 337, in handler ret = handlerObj.handler() File "/usr/share/rhn/proxy/broker/rhnBroker.py", line 156, in handler getResult = self.__local_GET_handler(self.req) File "/usr/share/rhn/proxy/broker/rhnBroker.py", line 296, in __local_GET_handler self.__checkAuthSessionTokenCache(token, reqchannel) File "/usr/share/rhn/proxy/broker/rhnBroker.py", line 445, in __checkAuthSessionTokenCache self.cachedClientInfo = UserDictCase(shelf[self.clientServerId]) File "/usr/share/rhn/proxy/broker/rhnProxyAuth.py", line 375, in __getitem__ val = rhnCache.get(rkey, missing_is_null=0) File "/usr/share/rhn/common/rhnCache.py", line 62, in get return cache.get(name, modified) File "/usr/share/rhn/common/rhnCache.py", line 325, in get pickled = self.cache.get(name, modified) File "/usr/share/rhn/common/rhnCache.py", line 223, in get fd.close() File "/usr/share/rhn/common/rhnCache.py", line 166, in close _unlock(self.fd.fileno()) File "/usr/share/rhn/common/rhnCache.py", line 50, in _unlock fcntl.fcntl(fd, rhn_fcntl.F_SETLKW, UNLOCK) IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument and on the clients up2date -i firefox Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: rhel-x86_64-as-4...

If you want, I can open an another bug Regards Nicolas
Hello Nicolas: This issue will be resolved in satellite-5.3. We do however have HotFix packages available if needed for 5.2 satellites addressing this very issue. Please contact Red Hat Support and file a Hotfix request if you need this for 5.2. Regards, ~ Prad
Hi Pradeep thanks for the tip about the hotfix. As our proxy are unusable in their current state, I will contact our TAM to get the hotfix Regards Nicolas
