Although it rather seems that zmd is locking the RPM database permanently, right ? If it's using inotify (or some other similar mechanism, kinda getting lost with this API in the kernel as it's changing with almost every release) on the Berkeley hash files of the RPM database to get notified instantly of changes, why does it have to lock the database ? If would be sufficient to - - lock - - read - - unlock - - get back to inotify Or am I missing something ? If that was the case, smart wouldn't hang - or rather, smart would hang until the RPM database is unlocked, then lock it, do its stuff, and unlock the database. cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEO6lrr3NMWliFcXcRAp+fAKCC853FTOON3+slpgO8Rd5GDrbrWQCaAklt 5WkB0JVivtWFpXiAD3AAIq8= =oACK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
