Hello
I have a problem
with yum install command. The environment is the following:
-
Diskless server (the whole server's OS (RHEL 4) is located on NFS). See
below mount command output from server:
#mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
10.10.17.45:/opt/nfsroot/10.10.17.46/root on / type nfs (rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,tcp,nolock,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=5,addr=10.10.17.45)
/proc on /proc type proc (rw,nodiratime)
/proc/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /tmp type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
10.10.17.45:/opt/nfsroot/10.10.17.46/root on / type nfs (rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,tcp,nolock,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=5,addr=10.10.17.45)
/proc on /proc type proc (rw,nodiratime)
/proc/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /tmp type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
With rpm command I
can install rpms remove rpms etc. without any problems. The problem arise
for example when I'm running command "yum install [pkg]". This yum install
command generates "Segmentation fault" error or it just hangs (See below
listing).

After this
unsuccessul yum install command all yum commands hangs and also all rpm
commmand hangs. To solve this problem I have to run the following
commands:
# rm -f
/var/lib/rpm/db*
# rpm -vv --rebuilddb
# yum clean all
# rpm -vv --rebuilddb
# yum clean all
After this I can run
all rpm command and also yum list command but when ever I try to run yum
install or yum update I get the "Segmetation fault" error and I have rebuild rpm
databases.
When I moved
/var/lib/rpm directory's files under /tmp directory and
configuring yum and rpm use /tmp directory for database directory yum
install command works without any error. Is this issue related some how with NFS
or related with rpm/python versions or what...?
So could
you help me fix this problem and currently we are using the following
versions of rpm, python and yum
-
rpm-4.3.3-22_nonptl
- rpm-python-4.3.3-22_nonptl
- rpmdb-redhat-4-0.20070421
- rpm-libs-4.3.3-22_nonptl
- libxml2-python-2.6.16-10
- python-2.3.4-14.4
- yum-2.2.0-1
- rpm-python-4.3.3-22_nonptl
- rpmdb-redhat-4-0.20070421
- rpm-libs-4.3.3-22_nonptl
- libxml2-python-2.6.16-10
- python-2.3.4-14.4
- yum-2.2.0-1
And we like to
continue to use yum version 2.2.0-1. We also installed yum version 2.4.3-4 with
the dependencies but we got the same error.
