Hello again.
It did it again this night, but my little perl proggy did catch the event
and killed it.
Here is the very last lines of the file amdump.1 :
...
driver: hdisk-state time 25590.732 hdisk 0: free 2048000 dumpers 0
driver: QUITTING time 25590.733 telling children to quit
driver: send-cmd time 25590.733 ignored to down dumper dumper0: QUIT
driver: send-cmd time 25590.733 to dumper1: QUIT
driver: send-cmd time 25590.733 to dumper2: QUIT
driver: send-cmd time 25590.733 to dumper3: QUIT
driver: send-cmd time 25590.733 to taper: QUIT
taper: DONE [idle wait: 7805.047 secs]
taper: writing end marker. [DMP014 OK kb 3392160 fm 1]
driver: dumper0 exited with signal 15
driver: FINISHED time 25591.483
amdump: end at Wed Nov 10 10:06:32 CET 2004
<end of file>
I guess the signal 15 appears when dumper0 has been detected as a
memory-eater,
but at this point, all operations are finished, aren't they ?
What means "ignored to down dumper dumper0" ?
May be this ring somebody's bell ?
ps: at any rate, my problem is fixed - it's dirty, but it doesn't crash the
system
anymore, and the backups seem all right, which is the purpose of it, so
my questions above are just academic :)
