[et-mgmt-tools] Endless "following symlink"

[darren.hennessy at advitech.com.au]

Hi,
I have recently installed cobbler from rpm on a new Fedora 9 system. I 
have attempted to do an rsync import from an older Fedora Core 5 box with 
a view to making a virtualised copy of the machine. I used the following 
import command:

cobbler import --mirror=rsync://root@192.168.1.17/server --arch=i386 
--name=Mac --rsync-flags="--exclude=/proc --exclude=/sys --exclude=/tmp/*"

where the rsync "server" module's path simply points to '/'
The cobbler check command reports a clean configuration
The cobbler setting are defaults with server, next_server and some 'virt' 
parameters changed.

The rsync copy appeared to go ok but following the copy an enless stream 
of "following symlink" messages are displayd on the console (and gradually 
getting longer in length). The machine was left overnight but the messages 
were still scrolling away in the morning.

I noticed Drew Einhorn mentioned something similar in a post on April 10 
2008 but I believe this was put down to a non-redhat based distro. This is 
not the case here.

Has anyone else seen this behavior or have any idea what might cause it?

thanks,
Darren
