Question

Master process not found, or multiple masters

I'm running FMS on Fedora Core 4 and it's been fine for a while but for some reason, every few weeks, it just crashes and the only evidence I find is in /var/log/messages.


This is the error I see...

[root@server-x log]# grep "Master process not found, or multiple masters" messages*
messages:Apr 26 15:49:04 server-x Server[18241]: Master process not found, or multiple masters
messages.2:Apr 15 16:43:29 server-x Server[5095]: Master process not found, or multiple masters
messages.3:Apr 4 21:10:01 server-x Server[18755]: Master process not found, or multiple masters
messages.3:Apr 4 21:15:22 server-x Server[18853]: Master process not found, or multiple masters

Any hints?

Thanks,
Michael

    I'm also new, stupid, and having a similar problem on RHE 4. My log line reads like this:

    Server[21071]: Master process not found, or multiple masters

    Are you sure yours is referring to your fms process, not an x server?

    I'll be looking for an answer and will share if I find something. My system uses AFS filesystem and sometimes produces a slab error related to AFS caching on shutdown, but I don't think that's related. Still: You're not noticing anything like that, are you?

    I'm pretty sure...

    If you are refering to the "server-x" in the output, that is just my hostname. I'm also experiancing my FMS server randomly not working even with no strange messages in /var/log/messages. It will work fine for about a week and then it just seems to stop working and I need to reboot or possibly just restart FMS. I see the normal messages that it's switching to the developer license and all the correct processes are running, but my apps just don't seem to connect to it. I reboot and everything is fine. This is a very stripped down system that is only runnning a barebones Fedora Core 4 and FMS. I sure wish some of the usual "Experts" around here would chime in on this. I amazed that no one bothers to even look at this post.

    Yeah, I thought this topic would generate some replies too. On one occassion I saw a different error in /var/log/messages:

    May 8 10:51:13 flashserver Server[2661]: Unknown exception caught in __TCThreadEntry.

    So far, no hangs without some kind of log entry. Like your server, mine chugs along just fine for a week or two then stops streaming video without warning (I don't have other applications other than FLV files to stream). Processes and server monitor appear fine during this time. I ended up writing a cron job to grep /var/log/messages and send me mail if it matches certain patterns, so at least it won't be down for long.
