No. I'm not quite sure how to get there. But this whole thing is<br>
happening very regularly now.<br>
<br>
Using the "top" command in Linux, I can see spider spike the CPU when<br>
this happens. Dunno.<br>

Have you looked at the console output and found where it hangs? One<br>
thing that can take a considerable amount of time and blocks all<br>
other activity are database search commands like 'show/dx<br>
somerarecall' and 'show/log someunknowncall'. If your spots go back<br>
a long time or your logs then that would account for some of it.<br>
However, I have never seen it cause a restart.<br>

This evening... I had about an hour of regular disconnects for<br>
users...<br>
watched the server processor hit 70%... eventually, the node<br>
restarted<br>
completely... meanwhile, the server was not restarted.<br>
<br>
I will not have much hair soon... I'm gonna pull it out.<br>

Hmmm... that occurred to me also (which is the way I<br>
normally do<br>
this with Windows servers).<br>
<br>
Is there no more to the exercise except copying the<br>
/spider tree<br>
over? (ie. I'm not really a "Linux guy")<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Not normally. There may be an issue with the user, usdb and<br>
qsl data<br>
files because of incompatibilities between different<br>
versions of<br>
Berkeley database file formats and/or Storable versions.<br>
But, to a<br>
large extent, these are now a thing of the past. But if you<br>
need to:<br>
the first two can be easily regenerated (from the user_asc and<br>
pretending to do an "update" for usdb), the "live data" qsl<br>
info<br>
that is collected automatically can be regenerated using<br>
/spider/perl/<a href="http://create_qsl.pl" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">create_qsl.pl</a> <<a href="http://create_qsl.pl" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://create_qsl.pl</a>><br>
<<a href="http://create_qsl.pl" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://create_qsl.pl</a>>. If you have many<br>
spots, it can take a while - I have been collecting them<br>
since 1997 :-).<br>
<br>
If you have the two machines side by side and there a network<br>
connection, the easiest way to replicate is to login as the<br>
"sysop"<br>
user to the new box then:<br>
<br>
$ cd /spider<br>
$ rsync -avz sysop@oldbox:/spider/* .<br>
<br>
When you try start <a href="http://cluster.pl" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">cluster.pl</a> <<a href="http://cluster.pl" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://cluster.pl</a>><br>
<<a href="http://cluster.pl" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://cluster.pl</a>> you will probably<br>
find that there are packages that you have forgotten to load (I<br>
always do anyway). Just load the missing packages and, with a<br>
following wind, it should all just spring into life.<br>
