fetch hang at 7% and then fails

[Olaf Razzoli]

I am trying to get the initial fetch as explained here: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/linux/build_instructions.md

I have tried several times, deleting the chromium folder and recreating it. I also checked that the depot_tools folder is updated correctly. 

The process always stops at 7%, even if there is a lot of space still available on the SSD.

My current OS is Rocky 9.7 x86_64. Is there any other alternative way to get the source code? The fact that the fetch process must re start from scratch on any error is not helping either.

Following is the session log: 

fetch --nohooks --no-history chromium

    "name": "src",
    "url": "https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git",
    "managed": False,
    "custom_deps": {},
    "custom_vars": {},
  },
]
'
Running: gclient sync --nohooks --no-history
