I've had a few repeats of an issue while testing coda lately. I'm getting into a situation where the following message is repeated every second: eg. Red zone, stalling writer ( 11:36:41 ) Having a quick look at the code (coda-src/venus/vproc.cc line 572), this could be due to the last case regarding a dirty cache. redzone = !free_fsos || free_mles <= MaxWorkers || free_blocks <= (CacheBlocks >> 4); /* ~94% cache dirty */ I'm adding and deleting a large number of temporary files in order to run some benchmarks on the filesystem so I guess this could cause the cache to become exhausted. Once I get into this situation, it doesn't seem easy to get out of without killing the client and server :-( Does this sound normal ? Is there anything I could do to mitigate the effects of this ?
