I don't recall what exactly causes this,
but there's a few things to check if coda doesn't
start:
1) Is there a leftover venus pid file ?
Check the venus.conf for its location:
#
# Where does venus store it's pidfile
#
pid_file=/opt/coda/coda_client/venus.cache/pid
2) Is coda stopped at all ? No second venus will start.
ps auxw | grep venus
This also happens if venus dies and for debugging purposes
sleeps forever, so that you could do a post mortem.
kill -9 is your friend...
3) Is /coda empty ? If you get an i/o Error coda
is not dead enough. Often it hangs because *some*
process has a file open under /coda/*.
If lsof doesn't help you,
you can check
/proc/<pid>/cwd
and /proc/<pid>/fd/*
Once that process is dead,
venus should release /coda
Yours,
Steffen
