Server detected a backward timestamp

Here’s another one:
Server detected a backward timestamp
FMS server went frozing , actually only some applications got frozen and this showed up in the fms logs.
This was a huge issue as there were lots of applications running on the server and finding the frozen ones and reloading them wasn’t an easy job.

I’ve done some research on this error and found what might have been the cause for it. Seams that - in my case at least - i have an autorecord script running on each application and if the stream from witch i record gets reset (play/reset status messages) causes this error to come up and eventually frozes the application as some point.

Solution: i had to rewrite the streaming code and avoid the play/reset on the recorded stream , also stop the record before such a status message came up. This seamed to solve my problem.

I’d love to hear from you if you have any information about this error.

Another day, another FMS issue.
Today the cpu load went over hills again and when checking the admin logs i stumbled into this error:
Assert failed in /util/TCProcess.cpp line 612
On a search on google i didn’t find any info about it.. actually no site came up in the search

Tried a server restart , changes in the conf , nothing helped.

I still don’t know exactly what might be causing this but eventually disabling the logs did slow it down. At least for today!

If any of you got the same error or/and have any information on this I’d love to hear about it.
