Subject: [cobbler] Another question about 'cobbler reposync'
Thanks to much help from you great people, my 'cobbler reposync' started
progressing well...until now, it seems stalled at this point:
running: createrepo -g
repodata/42ec1be1745e71753d57892fefff57fc16d98541662637e1a8f2c0b2f188
70f6-comps-f17.xml
--deltas -c cache -s sha /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/f17-x86_64-everything
13/27033 - Packages/q/qalculreamer-devel-0.10.2-1.fc17.i686.rpm
Does it just take a long time for the above step to complete or is it stuck on
qalculreamer-devel? I would love to see it progress from package 13/27033 to
package 27033/27033!
Yes, createrepo does take some time. I have seen it take about 1-2 mins for
indexing ~2000 RPMs. Since there are 27000+ RPM packages in your case, it'll
take longer.
You can also do something like "sudo lsof | grep createrepo" to see
what file it's actually working on at the moment.
Thank you both! I was (yesterday) getting something like 'unhandled
exception in cobblerd' messages in /var/log/messages while running
'createrepo', but my efforts to do a successful 'cobbler reposync'
action have been hampered by thunderstorms which caused massive power
outages in my area. (I live close to Washington, D. C.) The reposync
process seemed to stall and stop dead after the 'unhandled exception'
messages. If this condition persists, I will post the exact text of
/var/log/messages.
Now that power is back on again, to restart the process, I deleted the
/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/f17-x86_64-everything directory and I am
now rerunning 'cobbler reposync'. Assuming power stays on tonight, we
will see what happens in the morning.
If the above is not the correct way to restart an apparently stalled
reposync process, please let me know the procedure. I'm quite new at this.
Thanks again so much!
Bob Cochran
