• update on repeated atypical (now becoming typical) OBSD crashes

    From Khelair@VERT/TINFOIL to All on Wednesday, December 10, 2014 15:50:18
    Okay, so, same synchronet versions as I posted before. Just had two more crashes today, both of them this time _NOT_ accompanied by a timestamp on /sbbs/data/qnet-qwk.now that indicates it having any relevance. There is, I suspect, just something leaving them dangling around there for some reason.
    I've had absolutely no ability to find anything in the logs that shows any sort of information why this crash is occurring, nor why it's becoming more prevalent, and no indications of any hardware instability.
    Anybody got any ideas?

    Got a core dump? Use gdb on it and find out where the crash is and report it here. How-to: http://wiki.synchro.net/howto:gdb

    I don't have any core dumps for the sbbs process, actually. :| Should I roll back to having that version that still compiled on OBSD and throw a different flag into the compile, or what else might I be able to do in order to try to get more output on what's going on here?
    I just had my 3rd today. :|

    No compile flag should be necessary. What do you have your core limit set to? Are you getting a segfault or what? You haven't really provided any details to work on here.

    Thank you. I actually didn't even think of putting it back into running attached to a tty so that I could see all of that. :| Sorry, life has been stressful as hell and I totally overlooked the obvious. I'll restart the process with verbose logging and see what comes up.
