Koji and plague are our buildsystems. They share some of the same machines to do their work.
Contact Information
Owner: Fedora Infrastructure Team
Contact: #fedora-admin, sysadmin-build group
Persons: mbonnet, dgilmore, f13, notting, mmcgrath
Location: Phoenix
Servers: koji.fedoraproject.org, buildsys.fedoraproject.org, xenbuilder[1-4] , hammer1, ppc[1-4]
Purpose: Build packages for Fedora.
Description
Users submit builds to koji.fedoraproject.org or buildsys.fedoraproject.org. From there it gets passed on to the builders.
Troubleshooting and Resolution
Restarting Koji
If for some reason koji needs to be restarted, make sure to restart the koji master first, then the builders. If the koji master has been down for a short enough time the builders do not need to be restarted.
service httpd restart service kojira restart service kojid restart
kojid won't start or some builders won't connect
In the event that some items are able to connect to koji while some are not, please make sure that the database is not filled up on connections. This is common if koji crashes and the db connections aren't properly cleared. Upon restart many of the connections are full so koji cannot reconnect. Clearing old connections is easy, guess about how long it the new koji has been up and pick a number of minutes larger then that and kill those queries. From db3 as postgres run:
echo "select procpid from pg_stat_activity where usename='koji' and now() - query_start >= '00:40:00' order by query_start;" | psql koji | grep "^ " | xargs kill
OOM (Out of Memory) Issues
Out of memory issues occur from time to time on the build machines. There are a couple of options for correction. The first fix is to just restart the machine and hope it was a one time thing. If the problem continues please choose from one of the following options.
Increase Memory
The xen machines can have memory increased on their corresponding xen hosts. At present this is the table:
xen3 | xenbuilder1 |
xen4 | xenbuilder2 |
disabled | xenbuilder3 |
xen8 | xenbuilder4 |
Edit /etc/xen/xenbuilder[1-4] and add more memory.
Decrease weight
Each builder has a weight as to how much work can be given to it. Presently the only way to alter weight is actually changing the database on db3:
$ sudo su - postgres -bash-2.05b$ psql koji koji=# select * from host limit 1; id | user_id | name | arches | task_load | capacity | ready | enabled ----+---------+------------------------+-----------+-----------+----------+-------+--------- 6 | 130 | ppc3.fedora.redhat.com | ppc ppc64 | 1.5 | 4 | t | t (1 row) koji=# update host set capacity=2 where name='ppc3.fedora.redhat.com';
Simply update capacity to a lower number.
Disk Space Issues
The builders use a lot of temporary storage. Failed builds also get left on the builders, most should get cleaned but plague does not. The easiest thing to do is remove some older cache dirs.
Step one is to turn off both koji and plague:
/etc/init.d/plague-builder stop /etc/init.d/kojid stop
Next check to see what file system is full:
df -h
- /mnt/koji
- /mnt/ntap-fedora1/scratch
- /pub/epel
- /pub/fedora
Typically just / will be full. The next thing to do is determine if we have any extremely large builds left on the builder. Typical locations include /var/lib/mock and /mnt/build (/mnt/build actually is on the local filesystem):
du -sh /var/lib/mock/* /mnt/build/*
- /var/lib/mock/dist-f8-build-10443-1503: classic koji build
- /var/lib/mock/fedora-6-ppc-core-57cd31505683ef1afa533197e91608c5a2c52864: classic plague build
If nothing jumps out immediately, just start deleting files older than one week. Once enough space has been freed start koji and plague back up:
/etc/init.d/plague-builder start /etc/init.d/kojid start
