Follow-up: hobbitd_client crash on FreeBSD 4.11 🔗 link

Hi Henrik,

I know you're probably swamped, but I just wanted to confirm whether
you received the trace files I sent you a couple of weeks ago?  I had
reported a hobbitd_client crash on FreeBSD 4.11 that I've been
experiencing on a somewhat regular basis.

I tried sending the files to your personal email address, but I'm not
sure if they've reached you or not, so I'll try to confirm here.  If
you need me to send them again or make them available for download,
let me know.  I'm happy to help debug the problem with your guidance.

The crashes have happened intermittently from time to time over the
past couple of weeks.  Other than having to manually clear the purple
icon with a BB "drop" command, I'm not sure what other effect the
crash has on monitoring.

Regards,
Greg Larkin

Hi Greg,

yes I'm swamped, but I did get your trace files.

As to what effects it has ... when hobbitd_client crashes, you do lose
one monitoring cycle of the client that was reporting data. Hobbit
will automatically restart the hobbitd_client task, so you should lose
only the one message that caused it to crash.

So in the worst case, it could mean that a red status is delayed for one
cycle (5 minutes).
