Mnesia Crash Dump

[Evans, Matthew]

Hi,

I have an mnesia core dump on a distributed Linux platform. The core appeared when I did an mnesia:start().

I'm wondering if mnesia didn't shutdown cleanly after the node was rebooted last. We have a Linux initrd script set at run-level 6 that attempts to do an mnesia:stop() via the erl_call utility. Maybe this failed or timed-out? What is the appropriate way to shutdown mnesia on a reboot of the node?

Salient portions of the mnesia dump are below, the complete dump is available upon request (it's 153KB in size and I'd rather not fill-up all your inboxes). I guess I'd like to know how things got into this state, and what we can do to prevent it.

Any suggestions would be helpful

Many Thanks

Matt
