Title: cvm-unix-local looping - version 6.0.1
Post by: brianr on July 18, 2005, 11:35:30 AM
The above task is running at over 50% of the CPU useage all the time on a server of a a customer of mine, even after numerous re-boots.

This server was brought back from the dead after some sort of power event which destroyed the mb etc. The file checker "corrected" a lot of disc errors, and I wonder whether some thing related to cvm-unix-local has been corrupted. Most of the errors were in the squid cache.  Restoring user data from a backup was not an option unfortunately.

I presume it is related that we cannot login through webmail, although we can through vpn and through samba.

Anyone any ideas?

Run "rpm -Va" to see what RPM thinks is not as it should be. Note that some RPMs do fail verification - that's expected (there should be a list of the expected results somewhere here...).

In particular, run "rpm -V cvm e-smith-cvm-unix-local" should return no output. If they do, you will need to force upgrade those packages to the same versions.

Gordon - many thanks.

rpm -Va showed me that /var/lib/cvm was missing, so I forced a re-install of the rpm, killed the task, and now every thing is fine.
