Hello For those of you still using pulp 2.5.x I finally found the solution to this issue https://pulp.plan.io/issues/686
You should: 1- Cancel tasks in Waiting state with "pulp-admin -u admin -p admin tasks cancel --task-id" commands 2- NOT restart services but stop then start them It solved the problem for me Fred -----Original Message----- From: Frédéric Conrotte Sent: lundi 4 mai 2015 16:04 To: 'Michael Hrivnak'; Ben Stanley Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Pulp-list] Pulp removing orphan does not work Thanks for your answers https://pulp.readthedocs.org/en/2.6-release/user-guide/troubleshooting.html#logging I did set logging_level to DEBUG in /etc/pulp/server.conf but I don't know where to look for the root cause in the logs This command: pulp-admin -u "admin" -p "admin" tasks list | grep Running | wc -l returns 0 (zero) So there is no tasks running. I started twice this command: pulp-admin -u admin -p admin orphan remove --type=rpm And here is what I see in the task list : Operations: Resources: orphans (content_unit) State: Waiting Start Time: Unstarted Finish Time: Incomplete Task Id: fb2fadbc-8d7f-4343-96c7-00d8dbe3cc90 Operations: Resources: orphans (content_unit) State: Waiting Start Time: Unstarted Finish Time: Incomplete Task Id: 49c6164f-b4d0-45b9-bb1d-53606ff5e831 It seems something is preventing the orphans cleanup task to process. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Hrivnak [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: lundi 4 mai 2015 14:37 To: Ben Stanley Cc: Frédéric Conrotte; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Pulp-list] Pulp removing orphan does not work Also note that the log files in /var/log/pulp/ don't get used except possibly when the processes are starting. Very early in the startup workflow, they switch to syslog. https://pulp.readthedocs.org/en/2.6-release/user-guide/troubleshooting.html#logging Michael ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Stanley" <[email protected]> To: "Frédéric Conrotte" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Sent: Monday, May 4, 2015 6:05:38 AM Subject: Re: [Pulp-list] Pulp removing orphan does not work Check the output of pulp-admin tasks list The output will likely be large. How many tasks are Running? pulp-admin tasks list | grep Running | wc -l If there are lots of tasks running already, then your new task will be on the end of the queue, waiting for the other tasks to finish. Check [0] for what to do about that. Ben.
