[Dxspider-support] Cluster hangs

[Klaus Heintzenberg]

> Hi guys,

> I seem to have an issue somewhere.  For whatever reason, DX Spider just 
> seems to 'hang' for no apparent reason.  I noticed this during the ARRL CW
> contest a couple of weeks ago and it appears to be doing it again during 
> the phone contest.

> If I try to enter any command or even a simple carriage return, I get no 
> response on the screen.  If I try to telnet in, I am connected, but never
> greeted with the 'welcome' message.

> If I let the cluster continue to run, eventually (anywhere from 10 to 30 
> minutes later) it will 'break loose' and spew the last x minutes of data to
> the screen all at once.  Once this happens the cluster appears to hang once
> again and we repeat the symptoms as above.

> If it tail the .dat file in the /spider/data/debug/2005/xxx.dat, there is
> no activity being written to this file when the cluster is 
> 'hung'.  However, once it 'lets go', all of the activity is written at once.

> The only way to 'reset' the cluster is to restart it.  Once a restart 
> happens, it's good for a while at which time it eventually hangs again.

> If I run a 'top', there appears to be almost 0 cluster activity and the box
> is running at 99% idle.  Currently running v1.51 build 58.323.

> I never had this problem with the old cluster which was running code base
> from about two years ago, but for whatever reason this new box isn't 
> performing very well.

> Any ideas what could be causing my 'hang'?

Kelly,
noticed same thing here. I nearly reset the PC. It did clear up by itself
after about 10 minutes. Never experienced that before.
(build 59.347)
