Hello,
We started having GNU Parallel crashing on our production server with the
following message:
parallel: This should not happen. You have found a bug.
Please contact <parallel@gnu.org> and include:
* The version number: 20160222
* The bugid: loadavg_invalid_content: /home/ec2-user/.parallel/tmp/loadavg-:
* The command line being run
* The files being read (put the files on a webserver if they are big)
If you get the error on smaller/fewer files, please include those instead.
We usually put a few hundreds commands into a file and then run them with
something like:
parallel -a commands --load 200% --noswap {}
Note that the same user may be running multiple parallel’s on the same server
at the same time (they are triggered by external events). I hope a User is not
limited to running only 1 parallel process at a given time.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. In advance, thank you very much for any
clues in resolving this.
Thanks,
Ihsan.
