Hello,
I've been using iFolder on my Mac for quite a while. I suffered
though the hacks to make the old 3.4 code work. But ever since Novell
OES SP1 came out, I've been running the 3.7.2.0 code. It was a bit of
a messy upgrade, but it's worked ok for me, but it is not completely
reliable or stable. I've wanted to promote the use of iFolder with my
customers for years, but have none would put up with this. I'm
wondering if part of my problem is the Mono version. This is what I
am running on my Mac:
Mono JIT compiler version 1.9.1 (tarball)
Copyright (C) 2002-2007 Novell, Inc and Contributors. www.mono-project.com
TLS: normal
GC: Included Boehm (with typed GC)
SIGSEGV: normal
Notification: Thread + polling
Architecture: x86
Disabled: none
Is that the proper version to run iFolder with? Or is there a
different/newer version I should be using?
I have a host of iFolder problems, including:
1. Freezes on launch saying it is preparing to sync one of my
folders. I have to kill all Simias processes (even after quitting
iFolder) before I restart. I use this script:
#!/bin/sh
pids=`ps wwax | egrep -i "[S]imias.exe" | awk '{ print $1 }'`
for x in $pids
do
kill $x
done
This happens about 25% of the time on start-up
2. Crash on exit. This happens about 75% of the time
3. Upon start-up, it prompts me to setup my first ifolder, as if there
is no existing iFolder config on the box. I have to kill iFolder
(again with my script) and restart and then it is fine. This happens
pretty rarely, I'd say less than 10% of the time on start-up.
4. Display does not refersh right, shows last sync times far in the
past. Sometimes a refresh will fix it.
I obviously can work around this, but I could never use this for
production users. I'm hoping it is something simple, like I'm using
the wrong version of Mono maybe? My back-end is the open-source 3.7
code:
ifolder3-enterprise-3.7.2.9089.1-0.2
ifolder-enterprise-plugins-3.7.2.9089.1-2
And my client is Mac OSX 10.5.8.
Also, on a somewhat related note, I've been testing on Windows 7 too.
The client crashes when I first login (I have it in my startup) every
time. But I can manually run iFolder after finishing the login and it
seems to work fine.
Thanks.
Matt
