From MOON Mon Sep 10 00:00:00 1979 From: MOON (David A. Moon) Date: 10 SEP 1979, 00:00 Subject: New ITS on MC has disk deadlocks Message-ID: I already know about this, I guess I should be more anxious about fixing it if it is happening frequently. I don't think it's a new bug, I don't understand why it happens more now. The reason you can't list the TTY directory is probably that the DDT TTY^F command probably first checks for a TTY; directory on the disk.

From RWK Mon Sep 10 00:00:00 1979 From: RWK (Robert W. Kerns) Date: 10 SEP 1979, 00:00 Subject: New ITS on MC has disk deadlocks Message-ID: A phenomenon we've observed repeatedly on this new system is for it to go into a mode where reading directories (for everyone trying to do so) for up to several minutes. It tends to hang repeatedly with short unhangings for quite a while, and then suddenly clear up. It tends to happen when DUMP is running, grovelling over large numbers of directories. I just saw such a state, and managed to get a little info before it unhung. The DUMP's FLSINS was SKIPG QFUD (it was hung in this, QFUD being zero). All the directories were in use (QSNUD non-zero), aparently brought in by DUMP (mostly in alphabetical order). Other jobs trying to do things and getting hung hung waiting on QSKOSW, which was locked by the DUMP frob. That's about all I could get before it spontaneously started working again.

Echos all chars but doesn't do anything. T^F doesn't even work ... wierd. Any guesses? It's like everything ITS does in the way of interrupt handling works, but that's all. No jobs no ddt commands run. I detached myself from another tty and then tried to ^Z the console. Took it fully a minute or more to get it to listen. another console next door had same problem. both freed at same time. system must be hanging some obscure way.

I have had a similar problem moving another fairly large file (14 blocks) on the archive (which is about 160 blocks), but a small file got moved OK.
