https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220155 Summary: zmd should leave rpmdb alone when rpm -Uvh * runs since an hour Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 2 Platform: PowerPC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Zenworks AssignedTo: zlm-code10-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: olh@novell.com QAContact: jtariq@novell.com zmd has the bad habbit to regulary poke at the rpmdb. if rpm -Uvh */*.rpm runs, this often blocks the rpm process for no good reason. and even worse, zmd gets so fat, the kernel has to kill it. or as it just happend, the %pre/%post scripts can not run due to -ENOMEM. zmd should just stat rpmdb, if it thinks it can access it, sleep for a minute and check if the rpmdb was touched in the meantime. if it was touched, sleep another minute. obviously, something is installing/removing packages. I'm glad the kernel did not kill rpm itself, yet. really bad design, as it stands now. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220155 ------- Comment #1 from richard.bos@xs4all.nl 2006-12-26 12:48 MST ------- Not only does it grab the rpmdb, it runs with the highest priority possible (-19) and that makes the system very slow. I removed the involved zmd packaged from the system, and it performs fine now. -- 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.

So re-assigning to libzypp. May not be valid anymore. Just confirm and close. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220155#c3 Klaus Kämpf changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |NEEDINFO Info Provider| |olh@novell.com --- Comment #3 from Klaus Kämpf 2007-10-26 01:44:03 MST --- Its right that ZMD does not use RPM directly. However, afaik, ZMD does check for changes in the rpmdb and calls the query-system (merged into parse-metadata for SLE10SP1 and OpenSUSE 10.2) to resync its zmd.db with rpmdb.

...

From the initial description, I assume that this is meant.

Please provide /var/log/zmd*log so we can verify the claims. -- 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.
