• MIS failure on Pi?

    From zero reader@21:1/112 to All on Monday, June 26, 2017 12:30:15
    Hi folks, since upgrading to A34, I've had issues with MIS becoming unresponsive periodically. I run on a Pi, in daemon mode. The last time this happened I checked the PIDs and was unable to kill one of the MIS processes with killall/kill commands.

    This seems to be happening every few hours. I haven't changed my system since upgrading to A34. I may try rolling back to the older version I was using (A32), and see if the problem persists.

    Has anyone else noticed this? It could be my Pi, but I've never seen this
    until the recent upgrade. Been running on the Pi with zero issues since late 2015. Could it be file system corruption?

    I was experiencing the same with A34 and have gone back to what i had
    before. After a few hours the nodes would all show as logging in on
    nodespy and I was unable to connect. Killing ghosts did not always fix
    the issue.

    Have you tried MIS2 at all?

    I haven't tried MIS2 yet, but I might as well. This is what my processes
    looked like when I got home tonight and it was jammed:

    pi@raspberrypi:~$ ps -ef | grep mis
    pi 3127 1 0 Jun25 ? 00:01:42 ./mis -d
    pi 4947 3127 0 Jun25 ? 00:01:02 ./mis -d
    pi 7941 3127 0 10:17 ? 00:00:25 ./mis -d
    pi 8434 3127 0 03:36 ? 00:00:46 ./mis -d
    pi 8702 8659 0 18:25 pts/2 00:00:00 grep mis

    Checking my telnet.log, my system was getting hammered by a few IPs right before this happened, then at 10:17, the same timestamp as one of those PIDs
    up there, the log indicates: Jun 26 10:17:11 Shutting down

    Anyway, I'll check out MIS2. I haven't played with that in a while.

    What does "Error 214: Shutting Down" indicate? That's what MIS2 reports when a user connects to the board. Configuration issue on my end maybe?

    Give it a try. Since you're on Pi it might not be great since I am stuck on a Pi 1 right now, so its very difficult to test it (because it takes forever to compile).

    On intel-based systems, MIS2 is light years ahead of MIS.

    I'm using A33 on my Pi without problems, it has the QWK/QWKE MSGID problem fixed so it's a good version to run if you want to go back a level.

    No, but I'll have some time this weekend, so I'll try to upgrade again
    and use MIS2 along with MIS and see how it works out.
