Particlone Fails to Start

[Joe Gill]

@Tom-Elliott

Well, I tried running a Multi-task this evening and it hung at the Partclone screen. I did not reset the database prior to trying the Multi-task. I’ll be around tomorrow from
7 AM - 5:30 PM MST. I’m going to update/upgrade to the latest SVN release tonight. But this post is after updating to Running Version 1.3.0-RC-2 SVN Revision: 5937.

Cheers,

Joe

Well I managed to get this working again…

Here is what I ended up doing… I upgraded to latest Trunk release (Running Version 1.3.0-RC-4 SVN Revision: 5941) and re-tried doing my multi task… It would not even start a partclone session. The log showed that no tasks were scheduled. It did, however, refresh better this time.

I stopped and started the service on both the Fog Node and the Fog Server. Than I cleared the mysql database. Voila! Things are happy!

I did notice that the multitask log file is logging things better now. I’ll be using this the rest of the week pretty heavily. I’ll keep you posted if things change!

Thanks Tom!!

This still seems to haunt me…

Same deal as before… Multicast seems to fail to start. Resetting things and voila, magic. I’m currently on RC-8…

Here is the latest apache2 log file…

@Joe-Gill make sure that both the server and node (via logviewer–>multicast show that multicast session is actually tasked…I’ve had to cancel both active multicast task and active tasks, along with restarting FOGMulticastManager on both server and node, after killing mysql (TASK=8). Restart multicast tasking and it should start right up. I’ve even done a travel node, and can swear to it working. The key is making sure the logviewer multicast from server and node, show same tasking.

@Hanz I noticed today that the neither the node or the server showed the task was multi-tasked. The funny thing is that I’ve had this happen so frequently that it’s almost easier to just go in and clear the database and reset things before I even start things. To have to go to each machine and manually shut things down becomes a bit of a pain.

I appreciate the advice!

Cheers!

@Joe-Gill before you start the machines into pxe boot, make sure the task is showing on node will alleviate having to shut them all down each time. Set your Multicast timeout high enough to give you time…mine is set for 5 minutes.

@Hanz Can you elaborate more on that last point? I think that is highly interesting, and a vital piece of knowledge.

That’s all I got, not sure how to elaborate much more.
