So how did you come up with this transaction? One thing you might want to note
echo [What-You-Have-Below] hangs for me in bash (can't ctrl-C, etc). Try escaping things properly (add single-quotes perhaps), otherwise you are killing your machine with an absurd shell expansion. For example: $ echo {1,2}{3,4} 13 14 23 24 Taking the first half (625 chars) of your 1225 character expression gives me 56k characters, the full one is much worse. $ echo ["Open_vSwitch",{"rows":[{"bridges":["set",[]]}],"until":"==","where":[["_uuid","==",["uuid","7b733b72-17f7-41c7-9f0a-641686db2dcd"]]],"timeout":0,"op":"wait","table":"Open_vSwitch","columns":["bridges"]},{"uuid-name":"row095f7ccc_ccb9_4c1e_94e8_b304deb6986f","op":"insert","table":"Port","row":{"interfaces":["named-uuid","row3886989c_5708_4eac_bfcb_329b2d5da01c"],"name":"br0"}},{"uuid-name":"row3886989c_5708_4eac_bfcb_329b2d5da01c","op":"insert","table":"Interface","row":{"name":"br0","type":"internal"}},{"uuid-name":"rowcd9eb1b9_090f_4a0e_bd08_bc57ade47441","op":"insert","table":"Bridge","row":{"name":"br0","ports": | wc 1 330 56352 $ echo '["Open_vSwitch",{"rows":[{"bridges":["set",[]]}],"until":"==","where":[["_uuid","==",["uuid","7b733b72-17f7-41c7-9f0a-641686db2dcd"]]],"timeout":0,"op":"wait","table":"Open_vSwitch","columns":["bridges"]},{"uuid-name":"row095f7ccc_ccb9_4c1e_94e8_b304deb6986f","op":"insert","table":"Port","row":{"interfaces":["named-uuid","row3886989c_5708_4eac_bfcb_329b2d5da01c"],"name":"br0"}},{"uuid-name":"row3886989c_5708_4eac_bfcb_329b2d5da01c","op":"insert","table":"Interface","row":{"name":"br0","type":"internal"}},{"uuid-name":"rowcd9eb1b9_090f_4a0e_bd08_bc57ade47441","op":"insert","table":"Bridge","row":{"name":"br0","ports":' | wc 1 1 625 Hope this helps =) -Reid On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 5:14 PM, Jereme Lamps <lam...@illinois.edu> wrote: > sudo strace ovsdb-client -v transact > ["Open_vSwitch",{"rows":[{"bridges":["set",[]]}],"until":"==","where":[["_uuid","==",["uuid","7b733b72-17f7-41c7-9f0a-641686db2dcd"]]],"timeout":0,"op":"wait","table":"Open_vSwitch","columns":["bridges"]},{"uuid-name":"row095f7ccc_ccb9_4c1e_94e8_b304deb6986f","op":"insert","table":"Port","row":{"interfaces":["named-uuid","row3886989c_5708_4eac_bfcb_329b2d5da01c"],"name":"br0"}},{"uuid-name":"row3886989c_5708_4eac_bfcb_329b2d5da01c","op":"insert","table":"Interface","row":{"name":"br0","type":"internal"}},{"uuid-name":"rowcd9eb1b9_090f_4a0e_bd08_bc57ade47441","op":"insert","table":"Bridge","row":{"name":"br0","ports":["named-uuid","row095f7ccc_ccb9_4c1e_94e8_b304deb6986f"]}},{"where":[["_uuid","==",["uuid","7b733b72-17f7-41c7-9f0a-641686db2dcd"]]],"op":"update","table":"Open_vSwitch","row":{"bridges":["named-uuid","rowcd9eb1b9_090f_4a0e_bd08_bc57ade47441"]}},{"mutations":[["next_cfg","+=",1]],"where":[["_uuid","==",["uuid","7b733b72-17f7-41c7-9f0a-641686db2dcd"]]],"op":"muta te","table":"Open_vSwitch"},{"where":[["_uuid","==",["uuid","7b733b72-17f7-41c7-9f0a-641686db2dcd"]]],"op":"select","table":"Open_vSwitch","columns":["next_cfg"]},{"comment":"ovs-vsctl: > ovs-vsctl --verbose add-br br0","op":"comment"}] > > is just freezing.
