Обсуждение: What's with the StartDb:2 failures on skylark?
Every so often, buildfarm member skylark reports a "StartDb:2" failure, as for instance here: http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=skylark&dt=2007-06-10%2023:00:01 but the logs contain no trace of any actual failure. What's happening, and why is the buildfarm failing to record any useful information? regards, tom lane

Magnus and I discussed it about a month ago and he was going to test something I suggested, but I'm not sure if he did. I have committed some small buildfarm changes that might take care of things. Marcus, can you please upgrade your run_build.pl to CVS HEAD (1.83) and we'll continue to keep an eye on things? cheers andrew

Done. FWIW, I think you wanted me to stick sleeps at some places in the code, but I never managed to figure out where to put them. So if you want them in somewhere, please tell me where to put them and I'll make sure to do that as well. //Magnus
