IFolder becomes unresponsive weekly

Hello all,
Running OES2.2-LX (64bit) with iFolder3.8. Every week iFolder becomes unresponsive and the only think I know to do is restart the server. What log file and where do I look when iFolder becomes unresponsive. Does anybody know what would I look for once I get to the log file (error message or something). This is a problem. If I can't figure this out, will have to open an SR.
Thanks
Hans

All,
Here is another update. As of today, 3 Jun my iFolder3 server is working great. I made the change as G.G. recommended from the last post and it seems to work fine. It is still an OES2.2-lx-64 server.
Thanks
Hans

Yes, I added the following as you recommended. MONO_NO_SMP=1 Will see how this works.
Thanks

I believe that all the below observations are post MONO_NO_SMP changes, please confirm.
Log says that at 11 it was restarted, btw until there is any request from clients or other servers you would not see any further logs even if its started.
You could also use pkill to kill mono process, just to rule out any other issue is causing the server unresponsive.

Hey all,
Armed with some knowledge from Willem and GG here are some snippets from 3 log files: iFolder stopped around 1300 (1pm). I had to restart it at around 1335 or so. I notice some curious things going on around this time.
1) Segfault at 12:42 from the var/log/message file
2) At 1100 the database is being shut down from the Simias log file. But I don't see anywhere that the database is coming back up. Also, in this same log file 11:00:09 is the last entry until 13:33. Probably when I restarted the server.
3) From the Simias.Access log file 10:59:56 is the last success entry then nothing til 13:47:13.
4) Timing of this is much more than just pure luck. Something is going on.
Thanks

GG,
Thanks for your reply. iFolder became unresponsive again today. I made your suggested changes. This time the "server" became unresponsive to the point it would NOT shut down. All I could do is hit the power button. Will check the logs Willem suggest in previous post.

  • After upgrading to Aperture 3.4.1 (and really since 3.4), aperture becomes unresponsive almost immediately after I open it.  It tears through over 1GB of memory within a minute, and I am forced to either force quit or open the terminal and "killall".

    How do I fix this issue?  I haven't been able to use Aperture or load new photos into Aperture for weeks.  Since upgrading to Aperture 3, from Aperture 2; I've noticed that Aperture 3 is a major memory hog.  I had to upgrade my unibody macbook to keep up with Aperture, otherwise my whole system become unresponsive when trying to simply look at my photos.  I have about 15,000 pictures in my library, but the program is designed to organize large libraries.  Why has it been so buggy the past year?  Should I just jump ship and go to Lightroom?
    Thanks

    Matt,
    it is normal, that after a crash a library repair is required. Aperture is a database, and if a crash happens, transactions may not be completed, so the library may be left in an inconsitent state. Usually the built-in repair methods can take care of this. But I assume, you have a backup of your Aperture library. If not, now would be the time to create one, just in case.
    I doubt, Aperture is causing this crashes - it may be a coincidence; kernel panics quite often are due to an overfull hard disk, incompatible frameworks or kernel extensions, or to failing hardware. Run a hardware check, check the available disk space and file system with disk utility, and try to remember, if you installed anything else lately, that might have added incompatible kernel extensions. Turn off any helper apps, start up items.
    Your kernel panic occurs when accessing the graphics card. Sometimes this can be resolved by booting into safe mode, this will disable advanced features and reset the card. Note: Aperture will not run in safe boot mode, see
    Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
    Browse MacBook forum and Mt. Lion forum, to see, if anybody else has problems with Mt. Lion and your particular Hardware configuration and card.
    As a last measure reinstall your MacOS. You may also have a look at Thomas' Tech Corner » Understanding upgrade nightmares

  • My trackpad and keyboard randomly become unresponsive on MBP Retina

    I just got my Macbook Pro with Retina a week ago. Its the newest model that just came out the week I got it. Its a 13 Inch. I noticed when I am using it, the trackpad and kayboard randomly become unresponsive for sometime. I have to close it and wait for it to start working again. Do you have any idea what the problem might be. Should I contact Apple?

    I went through this with my old Late 2008 Macbook Uni when I installed Kingston Value RAM.
    Take your new RAM out - install your old RAM back - do a PRAM reset and see if your keyboard and trackpad are working again.
    Once that's done - turn your Macbook off - install the new RAM - if keyboard and trackpad are unresponsive again - install different brand of RAM.
    I ended up intalling Crucial RAM in mine.
    Good luck.

  • Premier stutters, stop, starts, becomes unresponsive, and grinds to a halt

    now, I more than meet the minimum needs for adobe premier, but sometimes, when I am using it, it grinds to a near halt and "becomes unresponsive" between simple actions. I checked online and it said to shut off the gpu setting, which I could not find on my version of adobe premier CS5.5. So, I figure my scratch disk drive is too full. so I free up 50 gig or so by uninstalling some games im not playing. I run my registry cleaner, and I still have the same problem.
    Is it because I de-frag my HDD once a week ? did some of the files get shifted and this is causing major problems in performance ?
    Im not sure if this is a hardware or a configuration problem.
    What I am doing is creating my own cartoon in it. which I am sure , is not what this program is designed for, but I find it much more intuitive to use than flash for some reason. its a comfort / time issue for me.

    Hello again, I can see that your Mac is running last year's 2011 generation Macbook Air, am I correct? If older, then I suppose that it is because likely of the new operating system, with new software added in, I think it is stressing the RAM a lot. Also, likely is because your using a lot of your hard drive's storage. Other than that, you can go and configure your mac or get a new one. These are suggestions I could offer, on the other hand I think you will have to stop updating your operating system. Not software updates, but operating system. Means you maybe sticking to Mountain Lion for "a while". Sorry I couldn't be much of a help. But yes, those are old specs and you may be stressing your computer hardware.
    Another option is to get expensive accessories like an external hard drive and buying more RAM. Your graphics card should be fine since your using an Air likely just for work and internet browsing.

  • Why does Firefox on my Windows 7 PC hang (become unresponsive) while it waits for most pages to load or run scripts?

    Firefox hangs (becomes unresponsive) when accessing many sites including Gmail. Eventually, when hung, Firefox will throw up a window saying "WARNING: A script has become unresponsive" or, in the case of Gmail, the page itself will say "Some Gmail features have failed to load due to an internet connectivity problem."
    IE8 and Google Chrome are working normally. I've tried Firefox in safe mode, re-installing and even running Firefox portable from a USB thumb drive. Each time with the same result—Firefox hangs or becomes unresponsive while it waits for most pages to load or run scripts.

    Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0.6200.754
    --

    Your problem sounds like the one that a co-worker and I started to have about the same time. Check your Symantec client management control log. You might see a line like the following.
    Date and Time Severity Level Action Test / Production Description API Class Rule Caller Process ID Caller Process Parameter User
    2012-07-30 10:48:09 AM 15 Block Production Unauthorized NT call rejected by protection driver. System Built-in rule 1608 FlashplayerPlu FuncID-B6H, R... None
    At first we thought that it was a Javascript problem until we noticed this log. The key words are 'Block' and 'FlashPlayerPlu'. This problem recently started for us, perhaps with a software push 1-2 weeks ago. Internet Explorer does not hang when accessing pages with Flash.
    The Flash page does eventually load after a long time. However, since the whole browser hangs for a while, for the most part having the Flash plugin enabled makes Firefox unusable if accessing pages with Flash.
    Disabling the Flash plugin solves the hanging problem, but I do not know what is causing the problem, nor do I know when a combination of Windows 7, Flash, and Symantec will work. Your later version of Symantec shows that we might have the problem for a while, but I do not know what customization CSC did with Symantec. My coworker did run a complete virus scan, uncovering nothing. Another co-worker is running Windows XP. She does not have the problem, but I do not know what other versions of software she is running.

  • Acrobat X Pro becoming unresponsive

    About 2 months ago, I got a new laptop and used the Migration Assistant to transfer all of my files and apps from the older MacBook Pro running OS10.6 to the new MacBook Pro running OS10.8.  Everything was working well until about a week ago when my Adobe Acrobat X Pro (v10.1.7) started to freeze on me. Without warning.  I would need to do a “force quit” and re-launch Acrobat, and then it would work for a few more operations.  Now, it has gotten to the point where the program becomes unresponsive almost immediately and can’t be used.  I haven’t installed any new software recently, so I don’t think I’ve somehow created a conflict, and since Acrobat was working normally for 2 months, I don’t think the problem involves using my current version with OS10.8.  Do you have any suggestions?  For example, should I uninstall the current version of Acrobat X (as well as my previous Acrobat 8, which is still on the machine), and then reinstall Acrobat X from my old disk and do a software update to bring my version of the software back up to date?   Thanks.

    If you were on a PC, I would suggest you go to Help>Repair. Apparently the MAC does not have that option. There was a post recently about repairs on a MAC version with posts from Phillip Jones. You might want to look for his posts.

  • Touch screen becoming unresponsive

    I have a week 38 iPod Touch and the touch screen started to become unresponsive around the time of the 1.1.1 update (not saying it is related). I owned the iPod for approximately 30 days before the screen started having issues.
    I have a difficult time operating the unlock slider and the volume control. It is irritating (to say the least) to not be able to adjust the volume of the iPod during music or video playback or unlock the iPod from sleep mode.
    Additionally, other sections of the screen become unresponsive. It does not matter if I am in landscape or portrait mode (video or music modes). The slider will still not track my finger. This leads me to believe it is possibly a software glitch although that doesn't rule out things like overheating which could be causing the issue to occur.
    I purchased my iPod at Best Buy. Anyone know if you can return one from that store to an Apple store under the 1 year warranty?
    I surely hope Apple helps me out since this is an obvious usability issue.

    Well, I've tried 2 different brands now (nillkin & ultimate shield) and both had the same issues. I'm reluctant to throw any more money at screen protectors as clearly something is not quite right.
    I've been a fan of ultimate shield protectors up to now as I've had them on my previous 2 phones without issue.
    Anybody had similar issues and found a brand that works properly?
    Thanks & merry Christmas

  • IPad mini becoming unresponsive

    Hi, this week my iPad mini started to become unresponsive and with a weird behaviour.
    I was using Google Maps and then the touch screen started to become unresponsive, and now it's opening applications by itself, when I try to type some text, for example, if I press a letter, it types the letter three times.
    Did anyone see this kind of behaviour before?

    Try this and see if it helps.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Cfmx7 Taking 100% of Processor (Web becomes unresponsive)

    The server in question has been running fine for weeks at a time, until recently.
    After  a reboot (because of a Kernel upgrade for RHEL) it started acting up.  Roughly every 12 hours, the cfmx7 process becomes unresponsive, and takes up  about 100% of the CPU.  This makes the server seem unresponsive to web requests.   The only message in the log when this happens is "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError"  over and over until the process is killed and the service is restarted.  I've already tried upping the memory in the JVM, but still no fix.  Any other  thoughts?
    Configuration Info:
    JVM Arguments:
    -server -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:NewSize=48m -Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/../ -Dcoldfusion.libPath={application.home}/../lib
    Min JVM Heap = 1024MB
    Max JVM Heap = 1536MB

    If you are using a 32-bit RHEL version, then i think you are setting your Min and Max heap too high. On paper, a JVM (1.4 and up) running on a 32-bit OS can be allocated a maximum of 1.6, although in CF, this is not always true. By experience, the max you can allocated CF on 32-bit is 1.3-1.4, and that's just OS and CF. If you a have a 64-bit OS, on paper, you can go and set it up a full 4.gb. See this blog by Steve E. --- http://www.talkingtree.com/blog/index.cfm/2007/8/29/CF8-Performance-64-bit
    My suggestion is to start your Min/512 - Max/1024, then monitor your performance. Also, since you are running CFMX7, then I suggest you take some java stack traces to see what's going on under the hood. Here's the link --- http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/183/tn_18339.html

  • Mac becomes unresponsive every so often

    Hi, every so often my Mac will become unresponsive, This happens about once or twice a day. When it hangs it's usually for about 7 seconds. Clicking Dashboard won't bring it up, Clicking on Expose won't bring it up, clicking on Safari won't maximize it. When it becomes unresponsive nothing is clickable. this doesn't happen often. I've repaired permissions and restarted my computer. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Without any information about what is going on specifically when these "pauses" occur, it's nearly impossible to tell you much more. If you note down the time when a pause does occur, then you can check the logs with the Console application to see what was going on at the time.
    If you have automated or scheduled backups the pauses could be due to a backup in progress. You can watch Activity Monitor to see if CPU usage increases dramatically when a pause occurs.
    You can also perform some basic maintenance:
    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack (not compatible with Snow Leopard.) If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack is not compatible with Snow Leopard.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
    6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
    8. Data Backup (Commercial)
    9. SilverKeeper 2.0 (Freeware)
    10. MimMac (Commercial)
    11. Tri-Backup (Commercial)
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.

  • AFP becomes unresponsive - High CPU Load

    OS X Server 10.5.8
    We have been noticing that our Home Directory Servers have been plagued with becoming unresponsive. It happens every week or two.
    When this situation happens, there is high CPU on the server.
    I can't see any pattern as to the root cause (or the fix).
    I have seen it fix itself over time (like an hour) and it goes away if I restart the server.
    I have tried things like deleting user cache folders (thinking there is fragmentation), looking for apps being run from the server (user copies apps to their desktop), but this does not resolve the issue long term. My eyes don't see anything in the logs, but I could be missing something.
    It is a cleanly-installed OS from 10.5.4.
    No RAID, or anything like that, it is a very clean, and vanilla install and configuration
    AFP is only thing running.
    Only used for Home directories.
    I have this happening on two of our servers.
    This NEVER happened last year, when we were running 10.5.4

    I have been scouring the interwebs for advice on this topic. I do not know if this is definitive or not, but this appears to be an accurate assessment, with two possible solutions, depending on your size and traffic and network:
    a) Use folder redirection to direct cache items to local computer
    b) Upgrade to 10.6 with gobs of RAM
    (I haven't tested either of these myself yet, I am exploring my options and strategizing, but based on all of the noise regarding this issue, the info below seems reasonable - especially considering we only recently started seeing the issue):
    {Others quote:}
    DO NOT go back. I have been communicating with people across the country and in Europe who >have this same problem, and several have tried going back. It does not help. The way the thread >issue comes up is that 10.5 and earlier have a maximum number of threads available - like 3000 I >think. (You can find the real numbers on Apple's website if you look for the benefits of 64-bit >goodness.)

    With 10.6, you get the same number of threads 10.5 had as an absolute max with a small amount >of memory, and your max goes up linearly with more memory, to some really big maximum. I have >servers with 12, 16, and 24 GB of memory, and none of them get above maybe 10% processor >utilization under 10.6. The same servers were saturated for long periods with 10.5.8 and earlier. >10.5 at its best had worse performance than 10.6 at its worst.

    I have not heard of anyone fixing this issue without 10.6. But everyone who uses 10.6 is fixed. I >was scared to try 10.6 at first. AppleCare said not to use it in production. But Corey Anderson >asked me what I had to lose. I could think of nothing, so I did it. An hour doing the upgrade, plus >several more on the phone with ApCare fixing issues they did not know were there, and everything >was good. 
    10.6.2 has been pretty good in almost every way. AFS crashes for me every 14 days - with an error >they understand but have not yet fixed - but recovers on its own and without my assistance. Users >usually don't notice. Could be better, but I can live with this.
    My staff server used to go bad at about 90-100 active users. Now it handles 140-150 without >noticing. I have a mix of 10.4 - 10.6 clients, and all are good with the 10.6 file servers and 10.5.8 >other servers. One big happy family.
    You need 10.6!

  • Dictionary app becomes unresponsive

    In the past weeks I have experienced Dictionary (part of Mac OS Lion) to become unresponsive after a while. The inline functionality of looking up any word by right-clicking it still works, but the app itself does not show up anymore. It shows active in the dock, but it doesn't show a window with its content.
    Restarting the system usually solves the issue. Logging out and in again, does not. Also, Dictionary does not react to force-quit, no matter which way you use.
    Looking for solutions online I couldn't find any discussion with the same issue. I am using a MacBook Air with Mac OS 10.7.3 with latest updates installed.

    I can't even uninstall these apparently invisible apps or files on my E90, I know they exist somewhere on memory card.
    These strange occurrence is affecting my confidence with software products & the stability of this phone, the worse thing is even reinstalling doesn't change the situation. I've never experience this on other smartphones I previously owned.

  • FINDER becomes UNRESPONSIVE during AppleScript runs in 10.6.5

    Has anyone experiences the Finder becoming unresponsive when running a script in Snow Leopard? We have scripts that push PDFs to an Apple Server (10.4) via SMB or AFP and while the script does run fine- during the last minute of it running, the Finder and the AppleScript become unresponsive for 30-60 sec or so then snap back and finish their job.
    This was not happening in Leopard (so they say) to the same Tiger Server
    Any Ideas what we may be experiencing? A suggested Fix? is 10.6.7 going to resolve this issue with Slow SMB connections?

    I have the exact same problem on two of my imacs, both have the 10.6.5 update and have been having networking problems since November of last year. I have pinged both IP addresses successfully so they are active.I have also tweaked the proxy settings for our network, trying all combinations, to no avail.
    I have at least succeeded in getting one of the macs to connect to email and Safari but the connection in Safari times out after about 10 minutes and then hangs and you have to force quit. Thereafter only a reboot will restore Safari.
    The second imac is in a worse state, in that it does not connect up at all even though the network is active and IP has been successfully pinged.

    The patch is only for MBP late 2013 13 inch. 15 inch is not able to install this patch
    I'm facing this problem intermittently.
    When my keyboard & trackpad went unresponsive, I plug in my USB keyboard and the keyboard & trackpad went back normal.
    I search the web and somebody highlight it may due to connector to keyboard/trackpad appear to be curled.
    Not sure is hardware problem or software bug...
