[Dxspider-support] R: DxSpider down crash users.v3j file corrupted ?

[Dirk Koopman]

Alex

Could you remind me what cpu and disk you are running this on?

Did you notice whether the node converted the "old" users.v3 file? Did 
you remove the users.v3j before you restarted the node after doing a 
'perl user_asc'?
