Hi Gerry, re: > Update time. > > 1. Upgraded kernel. Errors persisted. rmmod'd the k8 ecc testing > module. Errors went away. Very interesting! > 2. Rebooted into memtest86. 6% complete, test 4 thru 10 GB and there > are no errors so far. I'll run to completion. That could take awhile. Yup, full memory testing can take LOTS of hours. We know; we (Mike Schmidt) have done this on several machines here at the UPC. > Looks like the kernel issue is still real. This is on RHEL4/CentOS4 > with, now, the latest kernel. Curious. I have a comment/observation: - the latencies that are being seen in data transfers from sasquatch to its SCOOP downstreams are real, AND very different from latencies being seen in feeds from bigbird. Case in point is the two different feeds to weather.renci.org: one from bigbird (NEXRAD2) and one from sasquatch (limited EXP). The feed from bigbird to weather.renci.org showed very low latencies while the latencies from sasquatch to weather.renci.org were at their maximum value ** even though the volume of data in the EXP feed was roughly half of the volume in the NEXRAD2 feed **. What I am driving at is the problems on sasquatch are causing more than a logging load; they are affecting the delivery of data in a timely manner. We first thought that there may be a problem in with the network connection from sasquatch to weather.renci.org (e.g., a network card that was choked down from 1000Mbps to 100Mbps; a bad network card; a problem in a router; etc). Further investigation did not reveal a network problem (e.g., card was running at 1000 Mbps; the card was not showing errors; etc.), so we went looking elsewhere.
