I am running a TS-7260 with lenny user
space, a 2.6.21-ts kernel, and a TS-GSM1
expansion card. I am streaming data across
the cellular modem link using ssh port
forwarding. I notice that after a day or
so of testing, I will often observe
unusual behavior with the board that goes
away after rebooting. For example,
(1) In one case, after terminating the
test, I attempted to ping the remote IP
address and received this message "ping:
sendmsg: No buffer space available". Odd.
(2) In another case, after the board had
been up for a day, I attempted to look at
some of the pppd configuration files.
Although the files were visible with an
'ls', if I attempted to 'more' them, I
would be told that the files did not
exist.
(3) After streaming data for 4 days over
the ethernet connection (instead of the
TS-GSM1), I noticed an error message in
the console window: "ERROR: (device
tssdcarda4): DT_GETPAGE: dtree page
corrupt." When I attempted to move files
around, I was told that the file system
was read only. After rebooting, things
functioned normally.
(4) After running for about a day, I
attempted to run g++ and it seg faulted. I
attempted to run apt-get to reinstall g++,
and it returned with undefined symbol
errors. After rebooting, things functioned
normally.
I'm wondering if anyone else has
experienced problems like these, and if
anyone has any ideas of what could be
causing them. I thought that maybe there
is a memory leak somewhere, but I don't
know how I would even check for that. Any
assistance is appreciated.
