Inspired by this message, I tried turning off manage_dhcp
in my settings and cobbler sync went from taking upwards of 90 seconds to about
5-10 seconds.
I don't use any bonded interfaces, but I do have one or two
multihomed boxes being tracked by cobbler...
I am working with the bonded interfaces option for 1.4. For
one server it works great, I can add two bonded interfaces and a couple of
non-bonded ones. Everything comes up rosy.
However cobbler sync
is taking about 8 seconds when I have one interface, and about 20 seconds with
six. I add another system with another 6 interfaces, it takes 3 minutes
and times out. If I delete an interface from each system, sync takes
around 2 minutes but at least it succeeds. It is definitely related to
dhcp since if I disable that in settings, sync comes back right
away.
This is the error I get (after 3 minutes):

Any ideas?? TIA...
