[Malla Reddy Madupu]

Hi All

 Environment

SpaceWalkVersion:    2.5

O/Sversion:            OEL5.x(Oracle Enterprise Linux)

 We are facing an issue withslow repository build for all the OEL5.x clients. Inf act client is building800MB of xml files as below mentioned.

 -rw-r--r--1     root root          1958177        Jul 31 11:00 updateinfo.xml.gz

-rw-r--r--1     root root         1302               Jul 31 11:00repomd.xml

-rw-r--r-- 1    root root         75605328       Jul 31 11:00 primary.xml.gz

-rw-r--r-- 1    root root          149870366    Jul 31 11:00 filelists.xml.gz

drwxr-xr-x 2  root root         4096              Aug  4 08:30 packages

-rw-r--r-- 1    root root         604397568     Aug  4 08:44 primary.xml.gz.sqlite

-rw-r--r-- 1    root root          1116515        Aug  4 09:29 comps.xml

-rw-r--r--1     root root          777163776    Aug  5 02:22 filelists.xml.gz.sqlite

-rw-r--r--1     root root          0                           Aug  5 03:29 cachecookie

-rw-r--r--1     root root        15                            Aug  5 03:54 rhnversion

  But, I understand that only fewMB of xml files should be download. I found a bug related to this kind of issue(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=729657) however as suggested inthe bug to upgrade the "yum-rhn-plugin-" will not solve this issue.Still client downloading all the files and HOST BECOME UNRESPONSIVE. Over themonitoring side host down alerts. 

 Guys, I really need somedirection to sort this issue, your time and efforts are greatlyappreciated. 

 Best Regards

Malla
