Hi, I am facing a bizarre and pretty severe problem with mock: On a remote (FC5) machine, mock-yum started to consume 100% of cpu-time, seemingly during a chroot'ed run of yum[1]. Peculiarly disturbing about this: This is job is running as "root", with me not having root privileges on the affected machine. # ps aux | grep mock root 28303 98.0 1.0 20280 10756 ? R 02:32 208:15 /usr/bin/python /usr/libexec/mock-yum --installroot /var/lib/mock/fedora-5-i386-local/root resolvedep m4 emacs gawk perl I am inclined to blame this to be a side-effect of one of these infamous yum/rpm/kernel deadlocks/races and/or yum/rpm arkward handling of interrupts [1][2]. Ralf [1] yum's behavior on "^C" and rpm being problematic wrt. rpmdb locking. [2] This had been a lengthy remote over-night build job, with me initially having been ssh'ed to the remote machine and the connection having gone down some time during the run. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
