Hello fellow Spacewalk users,
I’m having some trouble synchronizing channels and have exhausted all troubleshooting efforts I can think of. Background: - Spacewalk 2.1 on CentOS 5.10 i386 which has been upgraded through every Spacewalk release since, probably, version 0.2. - Was on Oracle XE, but performance and other minor issues motivated migrating to Postgresql. - Postgresql migration went smoothly and everything works, except… Problem: - spacewalk-repo-sync runs flawlessly for small repositories. CentOS 5 updates, Spacewalk client tools, VMware tools all sync correctly. - Larger repositories (such as the CentOS base and spacewalk server repos) partially sync, but never fully sync. For example, ` spacewalk-repo-sync --channel spacewalk-i386 --type yum` says: Packages in repo: 221 Packages already synced: 132 Packages to sync: 89 It runs to completion with no errors and appears to sync the remaining 89 packages, but if I run the same sync again there are still 89 packages left to sync. The base channels “Packages to sync” numbers are much higher (2453 of 2789 for CentOS 5 i386 base). What I’ve tried: - Deleted all packages in the effected channels and re-sync; no change. - Deleted and re-created the channels; no change. - Tuned Postgresql (`pgtune --type=web -c 600`, enabled autovacuum) ; no change. - Tried to sync from local .iso rather than remote repository; no change. - spacewalk-data-fsck with various options (`-r` deletes the packages from the disk, and spacewalk-repo-sync will re-download them, but they still don’t make it into the database) - Numerous restarts of taskomatic, Spacewalk, Postgresql etc. to no avail… I’ve poured through logs, but do not see any indication of where the problem lies. Any hints or assistance would be greatly appreciated, as I would rather not have to start from scratch with this particular Spacewalk installation. Regards, - Ron -
