[hylafax-users] R: Re: R: Hylafax Freeze with no error or warning

[Giuseppe dia <giusedia@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Giuseppe,
first of all I'd like to thank you because your suggestion yesterday did  
really save the day.
I was seing faxgettys dying minute by minute and fax reception was erratic at 
best.
Currently with hylafax-server  v.2:6.0.5-5 not a single occurrence of faxgetty 
dying was detected by my watchdog and luckily there's nothing in the script.
I would like to summarize the situation for the post:
Hylafax 6.0.4-10ubuntu1on x86 ubuntu 10.10 Kernel 2.6.35-24-generic-pae with 
three USB conexant modem (udev rules preventing them to be swapped) had an 
issue with faxgetty dying AFTER every reception 
-faxgetty would die randomly
-disabling any other stuff (such as a cp entry) and custom template in 
FaxDispatch did not make any difference.
-disabling custom entry 'filetype=PDF' in FaxDispatch (to probe for issues 
with tiff2pdf) did not make any difference.
-disabling apparmor would not work.
-upgrading the kernel did make the problem worse (occurrance from weekly to 
'every 5 minute')
-hardware was checked and it doesn't seem an hardware issue.
At the moment upgrading to hylafax-server  v.2:6.0.5-5 seems to be a good fix.
But maybe it's too soon to speak so in the meanwhile I'm watching it closely 
to see if there's any further occurance of this.
Thanks, and bye
GD
