https://bugzilla.balabit.com/show_bug.cgi?id=142 --- Comment #8 from Balazs Scheidler <bazsi@balabit.hu> 2011-11-12 20:12:35 --- ok, reopen is valid then. if syslog-ng stalls, then the main thread is doing something on the blocked filesystem, which blocks that too. can you run syslog-ng under strace in a mode that displays threads as well and see why the main thread is getting stalled? please make sure that the strace is complete, syslog-ng goes into the background and stracing the startup doesn't really help. something like: strace -ttT -o syslog-ng.log -s 256 -f /sbin/syslog-ng -Fe Then produce the problem. The interesting portion of the strace is what the main thread is doing once the D state hits. It is either blocking on a mutex/condvar or it is doing something on the broken filesystem. I've quickly browsed the related code, and no obvious thing stood out. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.balabit.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
