Hi we jhust installed a Coda System for Web Server Clustering, 1 Coda Server holding the whole HTML PHP .. files and 5 nodes which grab the data from the Server using coda. We tried with a cache size of 2GB but had some problems with it. Decreasing to about 250MB solved the problem, the system running smoothly without any major problems.
Now we accessed the coda file system on the server thru a SMB share (smb share to /coda/codaserver/httpd/htdocs) which seemed to run perfectly, but now we have the problem that periodicly (every 5-10 minutes) several nodes of the 5 clients either: - are out of sync - say "connection timed out" - simply hang when using a command like cat or touch on the coda filesystem When not using SMB, the nodes are running smoothly again. It is hard to reproduce the exact problem situation, but what normally makes one of the nodes hang is when You want to save a file on the coda with Photoshop. Using the same datafiles thru FTP seems not to make any problems. To get the node back up running, the only thing which works was reinitializing the cache, an restarting venus. About the log Files, no real significant error found. about the ACL, i set the coda folders to be accessed by anybody, so i am not doing a "clog" to initialize the connection. The rights I set are : cfs setacl /coda/codaserver/httpd/htdocs System:AnyUser rlidwka and so on. Any body an idea ? Thanks, Tom Weber RTLnewMedia
