weird disk error - aix
list Jeff Newman
Hi, Once or twice a day, I get the disk test on ONE of my AIX boxes go red. When I look at it, it says: Expected string (%Used and Mounted) not found in df output header realmem 1048576 Amount of usable physical memory in Kbytes False The next cycle (5 minutes) it goes right back to being green with the correct data. This happens once or twice a day. Any ideas?

Hi, I had the same problem. I had started both the client and server. Starting the server also starts the client. So I had 2 instances of the client running, messing up the clientdata. Are you having the problem on a hobbit-server? Or in some way having 2 instances of hobbitclient running. Regards Lars

That was it! I had 2 instances of the client running on that box. Not sure why, maybe I did it on accident, who knows, but killing them all and starting up one made the problem go away! Thanks again!! -Jeff

I am seeing this as well: Expected string (Capacity and Mounted) not found in df output header on Debian with 2.6.8-1-686 kernel. Looking over historical data i see such flickers on a few other machines as well.

Are you running both bb and hobbit on the client? Or have you started both hobbit-client and hobbit-server on the same box? Lars

Seems like hobbit client start script doesn't pick up by default the environment variables defined at the hobbitclient.cfg file. I had to use --env=$HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg on runclient.sh to make it work. Any thoughts? Fabio

Never installed BB on this box, so I know it's not that. I don't think I've started the client, but I'll kill all the hobbit processes and start just the server to be sure.

Ok, I am running the client after all - I'd forgotten that there were some things I needed to monitor (state of local RAID arrays, UPS etc). I've not seen any way to run ext scripts from the server, so had to run the client.

Strange. On the box where i'm seeing this, there's never been a bb, and it's not the server; i see it happen occasionally on several different boxes that are running clients (only). I have not yet seen it happen on the hobbit server (which only starts the server, and allows the server to handle the launching of the 'local' client process).
