Installing oracle database stuck on prerequisite check

FeyFre · 12-08-2016, 10:56 AM

Hello

Trying to install Oracle Database Enterprise 11g into Slackware 14.2(amd64)(in virtualbox for now)
Stuck on Prerequisite Checks step, progress at 47% "Checking Hard Limit: maximum open file descriptors..."(for 40 minutes already!)

In process list I see child process of installer consumes 90% cpu, other 10% by installer itself.

Any hints?

Attaching log

What about this bit (lines 582-584)?

Code:

SEVERE: [FATAL] [INS-32021] Insufficient disk space on this volume for the selected Oracle home.
   CAUSE: The selected Oracle home was on a volume without enough disk space.
   ACTION: Choose a location for Oracle home that has enough space (minimum of 4,397MB) or free up space on the existing volume.

Yes, I got message, and on line 637 you can see I already fixed that issue

Digged more.
Found that installer spawn child process to check limits. And it seems to be deadlocked

Quote:

/tmp/CVU_11.2.0.1.0_oracle/exectask -getrlimit oracle hard nofile

Attached its strace log of its standalone invocation... deadlock on futex... have no idea how to fix it.

Just before endless futex's, at line 107:

Code:

stat("/etc/security/limits.conf", 0x7fff009702b0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
