That patch drops the timeout down a lot when we can't lock, and we can't see the lock owner (presumably because it's exiting/exited). I guess this is triggered by zombies? If so that problem should go away if we ignore zombies, right? Changing the 0.1 to 0.5 or just always doing a 2 second timeout doesn't seem bad. _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list Yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
