having issues with our server ( centos7 ) that runs ldm... locking up.
It has happened 2 times in the last 3 weeks or so.
The server is pingable... so it's not totally dead.. but you can't get a
local or remote console to start. can't figure out if it is out of
memory or file handles or what.... it's like a ghost of itself.
After rebooting... the /home/ldm/var/data/ has around 350,000 files in
it. I am not sure if that is 'ok' or a bit extra.
We are running a
ldmadmin scour
command... via cron but I don't know what that is doing exactly or it
it's doing much.
when I try and restart ldm it says:
Checking the product-queue...
The writer-counter of the product-queue isn't zero. Either a process
has the product-queue open for writing or the queue might be corrupt.
Terminate the process and recheck or use
pqcat -l- -s -q /home/ldm/var/queues/ldm.pq && pqcheck -F -q
/home/ldm/var/queues/ldm.pq
to validate the queue and set the writer-counter to zero.
LDM not started
In the past.... during testing and what not.. I've been able to run:
pqcat -l- -s -q /home/ldm/var/queues/ldm.pq && pqcheck -F
-q/home/ldm/var/queues/ldm.pq
and ldm would start after that. This time.. with the 350K files or so..
that pqcat stuff fails.
I am deleting older ( than a day ) files from the /home/ldm/var/data/
direcory... going to see if
pqcat -l- -s -q /home/ldm/var/queues/ldm.pq && pqcheck -F
-q/home/ldm/var/queues/ldm.pq
will work or if I have to rm -rf /home/ldm/var/data/ and start a new q.
If ldmadmin scour does not let us remove enough files from
/home/ldm/var/data/ can I use find and rm to remove files or do they
have to be removed using ldm to keep and queses or indexes in sync?
