It may be something to do with mock or the kernel, possibly. Are you running Rawhide on the machine where you're doing the mock builds? I most recently noticed it when building lives with Python 3.9 for testing - that should take less than an hour per image, it actually took 12+ hours per image. When I attach an strace to the dnf process it seems like it doesn't really stick on any one call for a *long* time, but it seems to do a lot of fsyncs, and each one takes, like, a half second or so. I *think* the slowness is the result of all those fsyncs piling up. I've tried installing nosync (both i686 and x86-64) on the host but it didn't seem to make a difference, I didn't check for sure that it actually kicked in. I'll try and do a bit more of a systematic look at it tomorrow, since at least now I know I'm not the only one... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
