Okay cool, thanks for the help Flavio. So, just to recap so that I understand, you suspect that we experienced BOOKKEEPER-198, put the machines into a funky state, and now we just need to start over with these servers - however 198 has been patched and we shouldn't see this specific failure mode again with a current cut of the code?
Thanks again for all your assistance. -John On Thu, Apr 5, 2012 at 3:05 PM, Flavio Junqueira <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Apr 5, 2012, at 8:41 PM, John Nagro wrote: > > All 5 machines behave the same way.
