Why does the sosreport command hang?
Issue
-
This issue happens in sos-2.2-* (This does not happen in sos-3.2 or later and sos-1.7 or less because sosreport shows the name of plugins while running)
-
When running the command
sosreport
to gather information on a system which has an issue, the sosreport hangs on an unknown plugin process. -
The screen shows a message similar to the following:
Running plugins. Please wait ...
Completed [9/47] ...
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
- sos-2.2-*
