Description Will Stephenson 2007-03-23 13:54:08 UTC

I had to reset the machine to get into it, but here is the edited logfile, 
The point where it started looping was:

2007-03-23 09:24:15 <1> emsig(15542) [zypper] zypper.cc(one_command):485 System sources enabled

It stops doing this at around, 19Gb of spew later.

2007-03-23 10:53:06 <1> emsig(15542) [zypper] zypper.cc(one_command):485 System
sources enabled

and then busyloops doing what looks like normal zypper operations until 13:45 which is when I noticed and reset the machine.

edited zypper.log file attached.

Comment 3 Martin Vidner 2007-03-27 09:08:38 UTC

Most likely this is a duplicate of bug 230211 "zypper shell loops on EOF".
How did you trigger the bug?

Comment 4 Will Stephenson 2007-03-27 11:34:15 UTC

I'm not sure, but I suspect that I had left a "zypper sh" running in a screen session somewhere.

Comment 5 Martin Vidner 2007-03-27 11:41:54 UTC

OK. I think that this does not require an online update.

Comment 6 Forgotten User Drfk9mafMw 2007-03-27 11:44:35 UTC

Comment #4 matches my suspicion. I am pretty shure that I had a shell open with
zypper for sometime, too, and I did not close it before shutting down the
machine.

But honestly, I think a choked logging partition is definitely worth an update! Most default installations do not have a separated /var.
