[Spacewalk-list] repo sync crashing after postgres migration

[Silvio.Schanz at elektrobit.com]

After syncing some files I see one open file for each synced rpm:
Sync:
...
480/19844 : compat-db46-4.6.21-19.fc15-0.x86_64
481/19844 : libXtst-1.2.0-2.fc15-0.i686
482/19844 : eclib-20080310-10.p10.fc15-0.x86_64

Open files:
...
spacewalk 5483 root  487r   REG              253,0   713608  833201244 /data/spacewalk/satellite/redhat/1/ea2/compat-db46/4.6.21-19.fc15/x86_64/ea202debf40485b1f25206637d04066aac72c9be718dc57d70bb94579e86506f/compat-db46-4.6.21-19.fc15.x86_64.rpm
spacewalk 5483 root  488r   REG              253,0    26312 1397434942 /data/spacewalk/satellite/redhat/1/406/libXtst/1.2.0-2.fc15/i686/406dd0c7a7ef9e4fecfbed7e726ec0341b33c74e1599fd6f1c12b1fb6e45d27d/libXtst-1.2.0-2.fc15.i686.rpm
spacewalk 5483 root  489r   REG              253,0  1027432 1928453652 /data/spacewalk/satellite/redhat/1/3a6/eclib/20080310-10.p10.fc15/x86_64/3a68a258ad4576444b6bb815aacb23f2d15b1f446cf088b10c62c72fcc050b99/eclib-20080310-10.p10.fc15.x86_64.rpm

A grep for open files in our /data Storage returns this:
[root at deerms45 default]# lsof -p 5483 | grep data | wc -l
483
[root at deerms45 default]#

So I think these files caused the problem.

Regards,
   Silvio

Can you lsof -p the-pid-of-the spacewalk-repo-sync when it's getting near the 1016 mark to see what files are being left open?
