I have an application written in Perl/tk that will write a small file
(~128 bytes) to disk. At random intervals, the application is unable to
write ti the disk. No error message is given, the write file is
executed but the trap 'or die...' is not. The OS is RedHat 7.2.
I have checked the amount of disk space (~85% in use of a 40GB HDD) and
this tells me that it isn't a disk spave issue. If I shutdown and let
the server sit for about 20 minutes, then boot it back up, the system
will allow files to be written to disk once again. A couple of possible
explanations have come up:
1 - The OS is runnung out of file handles.
2 - There is a (possible) memory in perl 5.8.x
Has anyone seen this behaviour before?
TIA,
Joe
