9385.0. "mpool_get error from joind" by CSC32::B_GRUBBS () Thu Apr 03 1997 14:58

    
    DUNIX 4.0
    
    customer system has a joind process leaving a core dump, at
    the same time a message like below shows up on the
    graphics console.  We never see this message in any of the
    error logs on the system.  Any ideas?

9385.1Please file a qar/ipmtNETRIX::"[email protected]"Brian HaleyThu Apr 03 1997 17:5915
Hi,

Please file a qar or ipmt and include the bootptab file, joind log (maybe
just the tail), and if known how to reproduce.  I'm guessing this machine
is seeing a lot of bootp/join traffic because it looks like joind has tried
re-using a bucket that's still marked busy.

This is debug code and for some reason it's built with -DDEBUG=1 :-(

If you're just doing bootp, then try to use bootpd as a workaround.

Thanks,

-Brian

    will do Brian, thanks.
    
    we are running joind debug in the foreground to see what it
    says when it dies.  As soon as we capture that we will ipmt
    and see if we can give a reasonable condition to reproduce.
