ioFTPd crashing under heavy load

[Flare2]

What i sent on IRC to darkone (he's not around)


[18:30:25] <Flare> i have a massive problem with ioFTPd
[18:30:29] <Flare> whenever it gets under heavy user loads
[18:30:31] <Flare> the site goes kaboom
[18:30:37] <Flare> ioFTPd deader than dead.
[18:30:54] <Flare> [18:22:13] <[SN]> -SITENAME- [BW] + Uploaders: 2@7193kb/sec - Leechers: 0@0kb/sec - Idlers: 3 - Total: 5@7193kb/sec
[18:31:09] <Flare> 7MB/s isnt even that much - site frequently pushes 10
[18:31:14] <Flare> but it was enough to blow ioFTPd up
[18:31:33] <Flare> have you heard of this issue before
[18:31:35] <Flare> and is there a fix for it?
[18:31:39] <Flare> because atm, site is unracable


that about says it all. when the site is under a heavy load ioFTPd crashes out and needs to be restarted.

this is a huge problem, the site is unracable because of it.

any fix for it? I am using 4.9.4 registered version.

does it only happen if you use the !sitebw command?

[Flare2]

no, dont think that has anything to do with it

[Superblue]

does it crash and close out or just stop responding? Does it answer on the port and not give a login prompt or just timeout? Is it using up a large amount of memory or cpu time during this crash/freeze period ?

I have a problem like this as well. I restart the site and once 4-5 users log on to it, it crashes.
i'm using v4.9.4u

It may be a good idea to leave what OS and scripts your running
as there might be one in common with you all.

I run a dual bw site with shared common IO areas and so far
with 6.8 in and 1.4 out - nothing as to what you guys get.

Mind you, same IO version but I only run ONE script ftpservertools
for sfv\zip - all on 2kPRO srvpk 3 -l other scripts I don't run as I
have no need of them...

Best up time was 34 days - 10 sessions average

Also i have the same problem with heavly loaded sites it crashes after 4-5 users do upload/download. Also i have big speed problems.

When i run tests with the other ftpdeamons it seems that ioFTPD always lose :( difference are 1-2Mbit !

Someone has seen this or maybe: Dark0n3 is there a speed bug in the 4.9.4r version?

OS: Win2K SP3 -> speed problem and weird crashes when heavly loaded...Scripts: dZSbot and ioZS or dZSbot and zs from caladan.

Doesn't matter wich scripts there running always same trouble......

FYI: It's the registered 4.9.4 version and it keeps on crashing

Disable "ALL" scripts and run it for 48 hours, no issues, try 1
script per 48 hours - easier to do this than to screw about with
mad users...

I'd suggest a plain setup of FTPSERVERTOOLS for file checking
as it's the cleanest one out there at the moment and I have
used it under SERV-U \ RAIDEN \ IO and without errors, this
will keep you going while you try to see which of the scripts
is giving you issues...

Under W2kPro the only issue I have found so far is the NEWDAY,
for me anyways...any NEWDAY...

Hope this idea helps...

We'll see if new core fixes that.. tho I can't remember anything (other than bug with SSL accept :)) that could have caused crashing
