I have noticed that syslog-ng has been hanging on my 2.6.0 kernel gentoo host. I saw in a previous post that strace was requested, so here is some info:
cindy etc # ps -ef |grep syslog-ng root 3381 1 0 15:36 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/syslog-ng root 11416 9238 0 20:34 pts/1 00:00:00 grep syslog-ng cindy etc # cindy etc # strace -f -v -i -t -p 3381 Process 3381 attached - interrupt to quit 20:34:39 [4011e878] read(3, <unfinished ...> Process 3381 detached cindy etc #
(The above unfinished part happens after I CTRL-C)
Using following version of syslog-ng: [ebuild R ] app-admin/syslog-ng-1.6.0_rc3-r1
I will leave the system in this state until tomorrow morning (Mon, Dec 29, 7AM PST) in case any further diagnostic info is requested by then. I appreciate any help that you can give,
probably both syslog-ng and klogd is reading the same /proc/kmsg source and this time syslog-ng lost, this it hungs while trying to read. (otherwise syslog-ng issues read only when poll() indicates that the source is readable) -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
