And for whatever reason it only seems to work some channels. I find a total of 20 repos syncing in the logs of the updated server compared to 42 repos syncing in the logs of the old. I don't really see the difference between those 20 repos syncing and those other 22 not. First I suspected channels with custom quartz schedules, but then I found channels in both groups. So I don't know how to troubleshoot this any further. The repodata task which I have started 1,5 hours ago is still at "RUNNING". The channels for which the sync works have been updated. I don't know why it is still running. Server load is back down... Thanks, Gerald On 22.06.18 19:12, Gerald Vogt wrote: > I have the same problem after upgrading from 2.6 to 2.8 on CentOS 6.9.
