Any hint? It's quite simple: given a program than echoes a list of lines like EVENT:xxxxx:something:somethingelse:somethingelsemore with xxxxx a number (you can think this as a random number between 00000 and 05000) I wrote a bash shell script that contains something like ./myprogram | grep ^EVENT | while read; do echo "$REPLY" >> "clientdata-${REPLY:6:5}" done That's all. It continues up to ~6GB and 5000 different files then starts reading the files back and so on. The problem *should* happen in the writing phase. > If it happen next time, please send the dmesg and .config. Ok. I'll also ask him if he has a copy somewhere else, I think he sends syslog messages to a remote machine too.
