PS. Is this the best place to put bug/issue reports? I believe this relates to the core image & kernel of a Jessie LTS release.
--- I'm seeing semi-regular spontaneous reboots on the BBB. Here's what I'm seeing: Running 'top', the "Mem Buffers" field, (4th line, far right), is steadily increasing until the system reboots at around (41180 buffers). Anyhow, since I'm going after max stability, this is of concern to me, so I've been doing a little testing. I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for, but since I'm not running any of my own apps in this setup, I'm hoping the results might be useful for someone else? I have logs available from vmstat -s K -n 1 >> logfile as well as a screengrab at time of fail of 'top' and 'slabtop' Let me know if you have any insights or would like the logs. I still have the image and am happy to run other tests if it'll help. In the meantime, I'm going to revert to a Wheezy console image and hope to find more stability there. Best, Dave --------- setup is below Setup: Running from image: RCN's jessie 8.4 console image of 4/7/2016 (with some packages removed, and a developer environment installed) Kernel: 4.4.9 -bone-rt-r10 kernel Running from SDCard ssh'ed in via DCHP connected ethernet, most recently capturing vmstat to a log file. PS. Under a different testing scenario where I am running my own http server/app, I see strange behavior too. I can say that my app has been extensively tested for leaks, etc, BUT can't rule out that it is my own app causing the issues when I am running it. Nonetheless, maybe the strangeness will help dignose the above issue, so I'm including it here. The strangeness I'm seeing is this: There is a 24 hour recurring pattern to the reboots. In the log below, I'm the number to the right of "Startup" is "seconds since last startup". Any idea what this might be??? Logfile rotation? Some kind of cron-job interference? 2016-05-17 07:36:14: Startup 15667 31504 * 2016-05-17 11:57:11: Startup 15657 * * 2016-05-17 14:21:10: Startup 8639 * * 2016-05-17 16:20:27: Startup 7157 * * 2016-05-17 17:22:41: Startup 3734 * * 2016-05-17 18:23:23: Startup 3642 * * 2016-05-17 19:24:06: Startup 3643 * * 2016-05-17 20:25:33: Startup 3687 * * 2016-05-17 21:26:16: Startup 3643 * * 2016-05-17 22:27:00: Startup 3644 * * 2016-05-17 23:27:41: Startup 3641 * * 2016-05-18 00:28:24: Startup 3643 * * 2016-05-18 01:30:36: Startup 3732 * * 2016-05-18 02:29:06: Startup 3510 * * 2016-05-18 03:17:03: Startup 2877 * * 2016-05-18 03:21:32: Startup 269 * * 2016-05-18 03:25:59: Startup 267 * * 2016-05-18 03:30:27: Startup 268 * * 2016-05-18 03:34:54: Startup 267 * * 2016-05-18 07:25:51: Startup 13857 * * 2016-05-18 11:22:51: Startup 14220 * * 2016-05-18 12:51:18: Startup 5307 * * 2016-05-18 13:51:59: Startup 3641 * * 2016-05-18 14:54:13: Startup 3734 * * 2016-05-18 15:55:42: Startup 3689 * * 2016-05-18 16:56:25: Startup 3643 * * 2016-05-18 17:57:54: Startup 3689 * * -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
