To add data to this: make test with restorecon being called --- 134 seconds make test without restorecon -- 55 seconds Unless I get a report back saying "sync is slow without selinux enabled", I'm pretty sure that's it. It's also the most likely culprit seeing the way restorecon is being invoked by Cobbler repeatedly (Cobbler's fault, not restorecon's). The bonded interface thing being relevant does not seem likely, what most likely happens (I /think/) is that cobbler sync wasn't timed until after upgrading, and that's the first thing folks might have been playing with. Reasonable diagnosis? --Michael _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
