alisdair sullivan commented on COUCHDB-326: ------------------------------------------- exit(Pid, kill), receive {'EXIT', Pid, close} -> ok end, To achieve a clean shutdown of the db and it's child processes, you need to send it a signal other than kill and give it a chance to shutdown and cleanup it's processes. The receive here doesn't do anything as a killed process sends the 'EXIT' msg immediately upon being killed. > Occasional {"error":"error","reason":"eacces"} errors deleting a database on > Windows > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: COUCHDB-326 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-326 > Project: CouchDB > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.9 > Environment: Windows, couch 0.9, erlang R12B 5.6.5 > Reporter: Mark Hammond > > On Windows, occasionally you will see errors attempting to delete a database. > This manifests itself by 10-30% of the test suite failing on Windows. If > you retry the tests that failed, they will usually pass on subsequent > attempts. Running the tests individually causes them to fail roughly 10% of > the time. > The log output shown is: > [debug] [<0.18650.6>] httpd 500 error response: > {"error":"error","reason":"eacces"} > [info] [<0.18650.6>] 127.0.0.1 - - 'DELETE' /test_suite_db/ 500 > A slightly snipped transcript from IRC: > (2:58:32 PM) markh: I see a number of INFO logs "Shutting down view group > server, monitored db is closing." directly before the error. I was guessing > the file may be unlink'd before one of those workers actually closes its > handle? > (2:58:54 PM) alisdair: yeah, it's probably a race condition > (2:59:13 PM) alisdair: where the delete is tried before the fd is let go > (2:59:26 PM) alisdair: the reader fd that is > (2:59:32 PM) markh: yeah > ... > (3:11:47 PM) alisdair: i can't find an obvious deadlock > (3:12:18 PM) alisdair: couch_server:delete explicitly waits for the db > process to exit > (3:12:23 PM) alisdair: before deleting it > (3:15:15 PM) alisdair: i think i found the problem > (3:15:23 PM) alisdair: but i need a windows machine to confirm > (3:15:30 PM) alisdair: i'll look into it tomorrow -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
