RE: net:max-retries bug?

[Justin Piszcz]

Hi,

So even though you get an error it keeps retrying?

Here is what I use:

set net:max-retries 3

and

set net:persist-retries 1
set net:reconnect-interval-base 60
set net:reconnect-interval-max 60
set net:reconnect-interval-multiplier 1

after 3 failures, it exits, is that what you were trying to do?

Justin.

It seems I've misinterpreted the debug output.

From the log in the previous message, lines such as this

   90   try_time=1270845539, retries=0

indicate the number of retries thus far, not the maximum retries.

Through some debugging, max_retries *IS* in fact being set properly to
net:max-retries when leaving NetAccess::Init via the Reconfig(0) call.

Looking again in the log, you can see that retries is always
"retries=0", never anything higher.  Given that net:max-retries=1 and
therefore max_retries=1, we never exceed the limit.

So the question then is, why is retries not being incremented?
