FAD problems

I have been running FAD for a couple of months. Never has seemed very stable. Now it seems to die every day.

Various machines have various errors. Most of them along the lines:

27 Formatted read error file {?} IOSTAT=0

27 Formatted write error file r919.smi IOSTAT=0

5 {I didn't write it down} IOSTAT=10053



I am running a Think server on each network with the rest of the machines connecting to it.

On the FAD website I can find an error list but it seems only applicable to setup.

What do I do to stop this crashing?


TIA
 
well lets get some more info and see if someone can help. what os are you running? what version of the client(s) are you running?
 
Thanks!

Running Win2K SP4.

I downloaded 123c client but presumably this has been updated automatically. Where do you look to find out the client version?

I don't have the job that is bad or for beta client only.

 
either open the queue portion of the client or the graphics portion and then go to help, about, and it will display your client version you are using. im using 1.25c right now and its solid as a rock. i NEVER use the beta versions since i had some issues with an older version crashing on me about 6 months ago.
 
I am using 1.25c also.

Ran SETI on these machines with maybe a crash every month or two. Now with FAD it is every day.

Is there a way to see which ones are running if I set each to communicate with FAD on their own ie without one machine being the THINK server?

 
Hi

Hey, I am a glutton for punishement ... I run the betas and except for "oopses" on my part ... they run rock solid.

That being said ... I run a half dozen queue servers and maybe a hundred or so clients off of those ... no clue what the exact numbers are. At some point ... if one or two clients are down it amounts to 1% or 2 % ... and that is "insignificant" so to speak.

Try this fix ... http://forum.find-a-drug.org.u...amp;highlight=salflibc

 
Thanks Mondobyte.

My FAD folder is in the Program Files group. I'll try moving it out onto the root of the drive instead. Apparently there are different sharing rules that apply to stuff inside the "program files" folder.
 
ah ... yes .. that would be true ... but your best shot is to uninstall it ... and reinstall it in a new folder in a folder outside of program files ... and share it out again ...

Thanks
