[erlang-questions] Can't shut down Mnesia from within application

[Chris Hicks]

I forgot to mention that if I comment out mnesia:stop() from the stop function of the app so that it looks like this:
stop(_State) ->	%% mnesia:stop(),	ok.
the app shuts down perfectly fine. I can then enter mnesia:stop() into the console and it will immediately shut down as if nothing is wrong. The freezing up only happens when I try to call mnesia:stop() (or application:stop(mnesia)) from within the applications stop function.

Subject: [erlang-questions] Can't shut down Mnesia from within application








Hello all,
I've got an application which, in it's start function, calls mnesia:start() before starting the top level supervisor. The only thing I'm doing with Mnesia at the moment is working with a single ram-copies table. In the stop function of the same application I call mnesia:stop(). At that point I shouldn't have any transactions or anything going on, but Mnesia simply hangs and I can't do anything but shut the Erlang VM down and restart it again. Any ideas what might be going on or where I should look?
Chris Hicks.
