The used machine is: Athlon Thunderbird 1,3GHz 512MB SD-RAM I think, this has to be fixed in 10.2, too. Is it possible, to assign this bug report to Product "openSUSE 10.2", too? -- 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.

Try the following and let me know whether it solves the problem. - Stop ZMD with command '/etc/init.d/novell-zmd stop' (If it does not stop then kill the process zmd) - Remove the file /var/lib/zmd/zmd.db - Start ZMD with command '/etc/init.d/novell-zmd start' This removes the corrupted ZMD DB and upon starting ZMD, DB is re-created. -- 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.

'/etc/init.d/novell-zmd stop' command fails; parse-metadata refuses to halt. Finally had to kill it. Examined zmd.db; it had a size of 74343424 and was constantly being modified until parse-metadata finally died. Renamed zmd.db to zmd.db.old, issued 'rczmd restart' command. Stop/restart executed immediately and zmd.db was rebuilt, within about two minutes settling at a size of 22800384. No modifications of the file in the last eight minutes. Hopefully that took care of it. -- 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.

Clearly, zmd was far from ready for release. I hope OpenSUSE 10.3 goes back to something older and more reliable. -- 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.
