satellite v5.5 - sync stuck at "Freeing read locks"

Latest response

Hi Everyone,

 

I am playing around with satellite v5.5....it's a freshly installed system and I keep getting stuck at the message "Freeing read locks" (as shown below).  So far, I have let it sit for approx 8hrs with no progress.  Once taskomatic died for no reason but upon restart there was no changes...still stuck.  So, I am just curious if others have experienced this behavior since I do not recall seeing this in earlier versions of satellite/spacewalk.  

 

Below I have listed some of the things that I have tried...all with no luck unfortunately.

1. multiple restarts of satellite service and reboots then resyncing
2. removing the channel with "spacewalk-remove-channel -c rhel-x86_64-server-6" and resyncing
3. the standard cache clearing trick "rm -rf /var/cache/rhn/satsync/*"
4. yum-complete-transaction  -  not even sure if this applies here but I found it on some forum and tried it....no luck
5. different options with satellite-sync such as --force-all-packages
