Description of problem: After upgrade to cobbler-1.6.6-15.el5sat the 'cobbler sync' command is ~20 times slower than it was. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cobbler-1.6.6-15.el5sat How reproducible: Populate cobbler with large amount of systems. And try to do a sync. The tftp file generation takes a lot longer making the sync extremely slow. Steps to Reproduce: 1. populate cobbler with systems (we have >4000) 2. run cobbler sync Actual results: cobbler sync takes over 10 minutes to finish Expected results: downgrade to 1.6.6-8 and it takes less than 30 seconds. Additional info: Tracing the processes shows the delay in the generation of the tftpboot files. It takes ~100 milliseconds per system.
Flipping component to provisioning.
Kal, could you please raise the issue with support as well?
A support case has been created.
This seems to be resolved with Satellite 5.4. It uses Cobbler 2.x and there are no noticeable delays with safe_templating on or off.
