[Bug 1053057] [NEW] Client queues up lshw calls if talking to old server

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Andreas Hasenack (ahasenack):

If a 12.04.X or 12.05 client is talking to a server which does not
support the hardware-info messages (like LDS 11.07.X), it will queue
calls to lshw in memory.

If the server the client is talking to is then upgraded (to LDS 12.09,
for example),  all those lshw calls will happen at once, creating a
storm of one lshw process per day it was talking to the old server. This
could be just a few processes, or hundreds, depending on how long
landscape-client was running and talking to the old server.

A restart will wipe that queue and is the recommended workaround:
restart the clients just before upgrading LDS.
