Running dbXY_stat -CA (for all status: -Cl is usually all that is needed) will display "hung" deadlocks. I can/will try to point out the deadlock if you send -CA output. Whether that helps resolve the root cause is a different issue; but it helps to conform "hang" information explicitly. Usually the deadlock is transient and related to other events. Meanwhile dbXY_verify isn't the right tool for serious diagnosis of locking issues. hth 73 de Jeff _______________________________________________ Sks-devel mailing list Sks-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/sks-devel
