[rancid] rancid hung

[Wayne Eisenberg]

It is recurring. Did a bit more digging around and saw it was only dell switches that were choking. The scripts just changed so expect wasn't getting what it was looking for. The good news is that I discovered dnos9 which is the correct type to use in v3.13 instead of the original dell.pm or powerconnect.pm that was working in v3.8.  So sometimes the answer is try a different equipment type. :)

How do I find out what is causing this? It was fine in v3.8. I don't see anything obvious in the log file from the run.

is it recurring?  I mean, you have cleaned-up processes and lock files, then recurs?

or, you updated and its stuck?  if so, i've seen this occur when rancid is running and a new version is installed.  somethhing happens with the interpreters.

else, what processes are running?  which files in the group are open (lsof)?
