My paying customer is ourselves. :-) Its part of our test system which
does automatic provisioning of systems. Right now I have a cobbler_fsck
script which goes through the records and tries to fix things. I'm not
sure how the corruption is happening in the first place.
At my previous employer, we had a cobbler install that had been around
since the 1.x era, but had been upgraded all the way to 2.0.11. There
was a ton of cruft and broken json files that were causing us all
sorts of grief due to various bugs that have (afaik) since been fixed
in the latest version of Cobbler.
What I ended up doing was manually fixing the offending json files.
Once they had corrected (and current) syntax, all of the weirdness
disappeared.
Perhaps you're having a similar issue?
