long time in setup?

[Steffen Grunewald]

I've got a host that spends a lot of time in task_setup:

05-05-26:10:14:58       zweistein check
05-05-26:10:14:58       zweistein TASKEND confdir 0
05-05-26:10:14:58       zweistein TASKBEGIN setup
05-05-26:10:18:09       zweistein TASKEND setup 0
05-05-26:10:18:09       zweistein TASKBEGIN defclass
05-05-26:10:18:31       zweistein TASKEND defclass 0

Note that it takes more than 3 minutes to return from setup

Another one (*almost* same hardware) takes only seconds:

05-05-25:14:46:14       deimos check
05-05-25:14:46:14       deimos TASKEND confdir 0
05-05-25:14:46:14       deimos TASKBEGIN setup
05-05-25:14:46:14       deimos TASKEND setup 0
05-05-25:14:46:14       deimos TASKBEGIN defclass
05-05-25:14:46:22       deimos TASKEND defclass 0

- what's being done during setup that could take almost ages?
(Is there a hardware problem I should worry about hiding somewhere?)
Unfortunately there are no timestamps in the log files below /tmp/fai.
Hadn't I added some to faimond's output I would never have noticed
(and could sleep more peacefully)

Cheers,
 Steffen
