Hi, all. I am running up against some strange fam problems in my
attempts to mirror a couple of linux file servers.
I have a directory with 2089 subdirectories and 37239 files in those
subdirectories. I am using the python-fam bindings from
python-fam.sf.net.
My first problem came when queuing too many directories without reading
in the events - my process kept hanging, I made two separate threads to
send/recv at the same time and that part seems ok, but once I have the
monitor set, if I create a file, fam doesn't recognize that the file was
created and tells me that all other files in that directory were
deleted.
This is obviously not the desired result, any clues as to how I can
prevent this kind of stuff? Am I going to need to break this down into
multiple processes with fewer directories handled by each process? Is
this just too much for fam to handle?
Thanks for any insight,
Mark Roach
oh, PS I am on debian woody with the versions of fam and libfam from
sid, namely 2.6.9 and kernel version 2.4.20
