Hi Alan,

You are spot on. The iso image was incomplete so I downloaded the image again.

I am trying update the distro signature file to include rhel7 but my server is on a private network so cannot access cobbler.github.com so cannot run "cobbler signature update". I have copied cobbler.github.com/signatures/latest.json manually to /var/lib/cobbler/distro_signatures.json but cobbler doesn't see rhel7. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

In cobbler.log it says that rpms have "failed verification" and the "update discarded". Any help will be greatly appreciated.


This is a rsync error. You could copy the entire rsync output to a pastebin and
paste its URL here so we could evaluate better.

Often, there is a "Input/output error" error msg along with those errors msgs you mentioned.
If this is the case, this indicates the impossibility of reading/writing from/to a file;
I'd guess either there are insufficient permissions on /mnt, mounted ISO is corrupt
or there are disk defects in source/target directory.
