[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 2.0 Oracle ULN repo sync

[Avi Miller]

Hi,

If you have Oracle Linux support, you should log an SR for this. :)

Having said that, there is nothing besides an out-of-memory condition I can think of that would cause a kill signal. Can you check /var/log/messages for any OOM-killer activity? The amount of memory required for a sync of the latest repositories is around 6-8GB just for the repo-sync tool. Your VM should probably have at least 16GB to support the database and other processes.

We'd need far more information, including the appropriate logs, to troubleshoot this further.

Both regularly received a ‘killed’ signal as various points of the sync but roughly 50-65% through. Checking through as many of the logs as I could think of to check, I don’t seem to be able to find a cause.
