[Swift-devel] runaway workers on teraport coaster test of

[Michael Wilde]

Im testing coasters with 
http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/~benc/tmp/coaster-head-elsewhere

This worked for me once Fri at noon but not since.

I put a .soft entry for java into the ~osg .soft file, to deal with 
issues discussed off-list.

I made a few smll changes in bootstrap.sh from that patched version - 
some for logging, and one to make the X509_CERT_DIR variable conditional 
on whether that directory exists.

The coaster service now starts, but it went into a loop spawning 
short-lived workers, and not getting anything done.

I saw dozens of workers start, with about 10-20 or so running at a time.

These logs and all files related to the run are in 
~wilde/oops/oopstest/runaway-workers.

In coasters.log I see 50+ messages "WorkerManager No suitable worker 
found. Attempting to start a new one."

Ayy thoughts on this?  TeraPort has been too saturated this evening to 
test any further, but it would be good to have some sense of whats 
causing this.
