Can you take a look at your image's /var/log/lastlog and report back how big it is?

Cheers,

Bernard

Actually, Rhel4 x_64, rhel3 x_64, centos 4 x_64 all work fine, this only
happens on fedora4 x_64 heheh.

Hi Drew:

I think Ben hit it with a nail there...  on a Red Hat 64-bit machine
(not confirmed on other 64-bit OSes...) the /var/log/lastlog is huge...
this apparently is a known bug with the OS and I am not sure if it is
fixed yet.  Anyways, in OSCAR, we fixed it by zeroing the file - take a
look at the following bug we filed for OSCAR:

d=1266306

Cheers,

Bernard

It only does it on FC4_64 to me, every other OS completes fine, and I
mean every other OS lol

Drew,

I think I see something similar, but mine hangs before getting to the
last file.  It always hangs at the same place.  If I stop it and then
run it again, it goes to completion.

I see the failure when doing a massive re-image (for example, dumping a
FC4 over FC3 or dumping a CentOS image on a Fedora server, etc.) and
assumed that it had something to do with deleting the files that the
program is using to run, but I havn't been able to track it down either.

More details on the symptoms:
Before the hang, disk activity and processor are both high (I'm going
through ssh).  After the hang, disk and CPU both drop to 100% idle.  It
doesn't time out (up to several hours).  processes appear to be fine
(not zombied or in some other way spinning).  If you delete the file at
which it hangs, it hangs at the next one.  the file mine was hanging on
was /var/log/lastlog (hangs there even when the file is 0 bytes) or
/var/log/dmesg (after I deleted a bunch of log files).  There isn't
anything particularyl interesting (large size or whatnot) about either
the file that came before it or the file I guess will come after it.

For me, at least, the problem only seems to occur when I completely
re-image the machine, and does not occur on incremental updates.
