Hello,

Some days ago a colleague of mine was syncing a channel in our Spacewalk 
and all of a sudden the syncing just froze and he was unable to cancel it. 
Since this happened we've had major issues with the Oracle database such 
as Spacewalk not being able to communicate with it due to blocking. When 
this happends we are forced to use to following:

ORACLE> alter database mount;
ORACLE> recover database until cancel;
ORACLE> alter database open resetlogs;

This allows Spacewalk to function normally again, but within a couple of 
hours we're back at the same issue.

Checking the httpd error.log reveals this:

Has anyone encountered a similiar issue?

All the best,

David Lind
