What occurred is that I was using the WebUI to add a system, as well as running an import media
command from the command line..apparently I ran out of memory, hence the "memory corruption error" during import, so it
probably couldnt allocate anymore resource to finish writing the yaml file and broke it.
I will need to slow down my efforts in the future.
As an added measure, I can make the non-read-only Cobbler WebUI
commands observe cobbler's command line lock. This seems like it would
solve the dual-usage problem.
The RAM problem seems unrelated though -- rsync gone haywire, perhaps?

Hello All,
I am not sure what exactly happened, but it definitely seems
like threading issue went wrong. I was importing a distro and
during that time, I also added a system, but the newly added
system was not using the currently importing distro or
profile. The import bombed out with memory corruption error.
Then I tried to recover but found that I kept getting
traceback errors whenever i ran any cobbler command. I have
rebooted, and still cobbler is not able to run now. Before I
blow away my installation and try again any suggestions?
Hmmm .... Cobbler isn't threaded. Were you using the WebUI and
command line at the same time? Ordinarily that should be ok,
though if one were to crash (still not sure why it actually
crashed?) while it had not yet finished writing the configuration
file, that would be a problem. Do you have a copy of the error
(traceback) you could post?
Apparently I'm blind.
I see the traceback and that is most certaintly coming from the parser
when it's trying to re-read the file, though I'm curious as to what
you meant by "memory corruption error".
