Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk crashes on high IO load

2011-04-05 Thread Thorsten Göllner

Did you take a look at
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/asterisk/messages
?

Using Debian? Take a look at iotop (apt-get install iotop). There you 
can see information about which process consumes high io load.

Hello Thorsten,

the system has 4 GB RAM and about 2,5 GB free so swap space is not used
or exhausted.
Maybe the high load is not cause of this crashes but it's the only thing
the crashes can be reproduced with.


Thank you!

Hi!

I'm writing to this list because I've got a very confusing issue with
our Asterisk 1.8.3.2 installation.

On high IO load on the hard drives Asterisk becomes instable and crashes
after a few minutes.
I tried to reproduce this by running bonnie++ on the hardware while
making calls.
The calls didn't get disturbed (no noises or crackles) but after about
five minutes Asterisk suddenly crashed without any further error
messages.


Are you experiencing the same problem?
I'm really confused now why Asterisk crashes...


Thank you!

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk crashes on high IO load

2011-04-05 Thread Maximilian Grobecker
Hi,

the log files contained (sometimes) lines about refcount -1 in astobj.c.
I also generated core dumps and analyzed them - but there were always
errors in another module.

Mabye I found the solution:
Asterisk seems to crash when a required module cannot be loaded fast
enough due to heavy disk usage.
When I move the modules directory to another hard disk Asterisk runs fine.

I'm using autoload=yes in modules.conf and have several noload lines
in it. Is there a possibility to say asterisk to load all modules to RAM
at start time and not on demand?


Thanks and greetings
Max

You could compile Asterisk with embedded modules?

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk crashes on high IO load

2011-04-04 Thread Nic Colledge
Are you using IAX? There are some problems causing crashes for us related to 
laggyness on IAX channels with 1.8 versions. 

There are a bunch of problems with IAX related to
