Thanks for your reply Michael. I found a workaround that I didn't follow up on this. The workaround is to reboot the server and all the OBS services start without any issues. But whenever you get to restart obs_worker manually, it doesn't start up. I get the same error, linux-uff0:/home/senthil # rcobsworker start Run 1 obsworker using /var/cache/obs/worker cpio: premature end of archive chmod: cannot access `bs_worker': No such file or directory You have to go for a reboot to solve this. I don't want to live with this workaround. Please help.

That looks like your 'perl-BSSolv' package is broken. Please reinstall it. "perl -e 'use BSSolv'" should work.

I am working on OBS QA team for Nokia. We have some packages which are build against MeeGo repo. Due to MeeGo OBS downtime on last monday, all the activities on our local OBS were also stalling. The issue is exactly the same as http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2009-09/msg00062.html. I am trying to analyze this. Was this an issue and has it been fixed?

We did a couple of changes in the innterconnect code, but I'm not sure if they fix your stalls. (For example, the automatic retry for failed requests didn't work.) (A scheduler cold start will certainly fix the stalls, i.e. kill all scheduler processes and restart them.)

But we did try restarting scheduler and it was still stalling. We could find no logs(scheduler) also being recorded at the downtime. Everything got solved only when the external OBS came up.

You mean local builds that had nothing to do with the external OBS (i.e. no source link, no repos used etc) also stalled?

Can I raise a bug for this?

You can, but I fear it won't help much. I know of some issues with the interconnect, in fact I'm currently rewriting some parts of the scheduler so that it uses async calls when speaking with a remote server.

Hello, I have 5 worker processes in my OBS instance. Can I have two workers assigned for builds of a particular project/area on the basis of priority? How do I do this?

Whatever I give for this, I am not able to restart the scheduler process.

You need to restart the dispatcher. The scheduler is just generating the jobs.

And I am able to specify the package/project with $specialbuildhost but am observing the following. The package is built on the specified host only when it is free.

specialbuildhost is not supported anymore. It was unfortunatly removed without updating the template file. bye adrian

Else it is scheduled on a different host. Also if the specified host is free, the other packages/projects are also scheduled on this.

Can somebody explain the usage of these parameters and the effect?

Thanks, Senthil M
