Thanks for the tip on the inodes. I'm working on the code today, so we'll see what happens. -Brian > > Thanks again for taking the time to help us with these issues and look forward to > hear from you soon. > > Carlos Ar?valo > hp > HPTC > Phone: 603-884-3390 > Fax: 603-884-5191 > E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: dann frazier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2003 10:32 PM > To: Arevalo, Carlos > Cc: Brian Elliott Finley; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Sisuite-devel] RE: SI 3.1.5 segmentation fault > > > On Sun, Sep 07, 2003 at 07:30:37PM -0400, Arevalo, Carlos wrote: > > what version of udpcast rpm were you using in your imageserver Dann? > > > > any chance looking at the segmentation fault in our servers? > > i spent quite a bit of time on your cluster this weekend - the segfault went away > with my last fix - the issue you saw after that was due to an old gzip, and is fixed > with a new one. the binaries i used are installed on your devel imageserver (old > ones are backed up w/ a dannf extension), and the code i changed is in cvs. > > the binaries on your test server get to the point of installing the file tree, but > it always seems to fail at the same point (~260 MB into it)- > maybe you already know how to tweak flamethrower, or maybe brian has some ideas... > > also note that the retry mechanism isn't working - the client exits immediately when > it tries to receive a cast that is already in progress. the client detects that a > cast is already in progress, so it would be possible to check for this failure case > by either looking at the udpcast log, or the exit status of udp-receiver (assuming > this is a unique exit code - if not, well, seems like a reasonable patch.) > > fyi, i tried both the old 200212xx version and the 20030611 versions in the initrd, > and saw the same results. > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek > Welcome to geek heaven. > http://thinkgeek.com/sf > _______________________________________________ > Sisuite-devel mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sisuite-devel -- --------------------------------------------------------- Brian Elliott Finley Phone: 630.803.8183 GPG: 3FF8 D096 0E0C D3F3 29B7 6518 D20B 1931 10F8 EE52 --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Sisuite-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sisuite-devel
