[Pulp-list] Pulp removing orphan does not work

[Frédéric Conrotte]

Hello

For those of you still using pulp 2.5.x I finally found the solution to this issue
https://pulp.plan.io/issues/686

You should:
1- Cancel tasks in Waiting state with "pulp-admin -u admin -p admin tasks cancel --task-id" commands
2- NOT restart services but stop then start them

It solved the problem for me

Thanks for your answers

https://pulp.readthedocs.org/en/2.6-release/user-guide/troubleshooting.html#logging

I did set logging_level to DEBUG in /etc/pulp/server.conf but I don't know where to look for the root cause in the logs

This command:
pulp-admin -u "admin" -p "admin" tasks list | grep Running | wc -l

returns

0 (zero)

So there is no tasks running.

I started twice this command:
pulp-admin -u admin -p admin orphan remove --type=rpm

And here is what I see in the task list :

Operations:
Resources:   orphans (content_unit)
State:       Waiting
Start Time:  Unstarted
Finish Time: Incomplete
Task Id:     fb2fadbc-8d7f-4343-96c7-00d8dbe3cc90

Operations:
Resources:   orphans (content_unit)
State:       Waiting
Start Time:  Unstarted
Finish Time: Incomplete
Task Id:     49c6164f-b4d0-45b9-bb1d-53606ff5e831

It seems something is preventing the orphans cleanup task to process.

Also note that the log files in /var/log/pulp/ don't get used except possibly when the processes are starting. Very early in the startup workflow, they switch to syslog.

Check the output of

pulp-admin tasks list

The output will likely be large. How many tasks are Running?

pulp-admin tasks list | grep Running | wc -l

If there are lots of tasks running already, then your new task will be on the end of the queue, waiting for the other tasks to finish. Check [0] for what to do about that.

Ben.
