https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=209424 Summary: processing packages file needs a huge amount of memory, making install on 256mb systems impossible Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 4 plus Platform: PowerPC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: yast2-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: olh@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com I tried the current factory tree from nfs://dist. yast downloads all these metadata files, at some point it will be busy with 'processing packages file'. This leeds to OOM and YaST2.call and the Xorg progrocess get killed by the kernel. I'm sure this worked better a few weeks ago. After enabling 512MB swap I get a 154MB/107MB/24MB y2base process and 100MB in swap: 3094 root 18 0 154m 107m 24m S 0.0 43.2 1:41.84 y2base Tasks: 41 total, 1 running, 40 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 1.6%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 98.4%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 254692k total, 242608k used, 12084k free, 2776k buffers Swap: 514040k total, 104740k used, 409300k free, 88148k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 3094 root 18 0 154m 107m 24m S 0.0 43.2 1:41.84 y2base 2939 root 15 0 30736 10m 3572 S 0.0 4.1 0:05.76 Xorg 2951 root 20 0 11240 4476 3376 S 0.0 1.8 0:02.72 fvwm2 1 root 18 0 5984 3244 2172 S 0.0 1.3 0:15.32 init 2282 root 15 0 8200 3052 2336 S 0.0 1.2 0:00.72 sshd 1204 root 25 0 5728 2012 1648 S 0.0 0.8 0:00.05 bash 1207 root 25 0 5728 2012 1648 S 0.0 0.8 0:00.03 bash 1210 root 25 0 5728 2012 1648 S 0.0 0.8 0:00.01 bash 2384 root 15 0 3960 1988 1608 S 0.0 0.8 0:00.04 bash 2373 root 25 0 5856 1940 1512 S 0.0 0.8 0:00.38 YaST2.call 1300 root 25 0 5724 1848 1500 S 0.0 0.7 0:00.45 yast 3139 root 21 0 5724 1716 1448 S 0.0 0.7 0:00.02 ag_fvwm2_setlan 879 root 25 0 3604 1676 1388 S 0.0 0.7 0:00.01 lsh 1213 root 25 0 5984 1620 548 S 0.0 0.6 0:00.00 init 1214 root 18 0 3828 1612 1352 S 0.0 0.6 0:00.06 inst_setup 1290 root 18 0 7744 1444 1000 S 0.0 0.6 0:00.55 sshd 2950 root 15 0 3004 1320 1064 R 1.6 0.5 0:05.19 top 1223 messageb 17 0 5236 1052 824 S 0.0 0.4 0:00.02 dbus-daemon 1253 root 24 0 2124 704 376 S 0.0 0.3 0:00.01 klogd 386 root 12 -4 2168 680 492 S 0.0 0.3 0:00.56 udevd 1248 root 18 0 1880 484 404 S 0.0 0.2 0:00.03 syslogd.bin 3048 root 15 0 1852 468 404 S 0.0 0.2 0:00.00 FvwmCommandS 1182 nobody 18 0 2036 456 360 S 0.0 0.2 0:00.00 portmap 1180 root 15 0 1884 236 156 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 dhcpcd -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
