Hello Novell,
I reopen here because updates not get mirrored when Novell site is closed.
This seems to be a write race condition in vsftpd due to insufficient locking.
hans-georg:
what do you want to tell me? which update isn't mirrored when what is closed?
the bug?
I have a patch for this. Can you see if the package on
ftp.suse.com/pub/people/hvogel/273454/
fixes this for you?
Thorsten do you want this in SP2?
Sorry but another testcase showed that this solution has other implications.
1) With the version in SLES10 up to the the newest version of vsftpd you get
file + file (so 2 times big_example.iso in one file)
2) With the proposed patch you get file1 with an overlay of file2
So this help when the file uploaded is the same (because you overlay the file
with itself) but breaks if you upload another file. This really needs further
thinking in the file locking of vsftpd. I contact the upstream author.

Novell, Any update on this issue?
upstream is not reacting to this. There is one solution that fixes this problem
but it has other issues. Mainly with aborting an "waiting for locked file"
upload producing a truncated to 0 file. Which is very unexpected behavior.
