Disregard previous comment - change was documented for ndb-6.1.4.
Description: We saw a case where trace logs are going over 80GB filling up with 'Unknown signal type'. --------- Begin Packed Signals -------- --------------- Signal ---------------- r.bn: 247 "DBLQH", length: 4 "COMMIT" Signal data: H'0000947c H'000044ad H'00800800 H'00360004 --------------- Signal ---------------- r.bn: 247 "DBLQH", length: 4 "COMMIT" Signal data: H'0000000b H'00370004 H'00000001 H'00380004 --------------- Signal ---------------- r.bn: 247 "DBLQH", length: 4 "COMMIT" Signal data: H'00000001 H'00390015 H'ffffff00 H'ffffffff Unknown signal type Unknown signal type Unknown signal type This looks like an infinite loop and indeed, it is: In ./storage/ndb/src/common/debugger/signaldata/PackedSignal.cpp, function printPACKED_SIGNAL(), the for-loop contains a switch where the default case doesn't increment the variable i. The reason why it goes in this loop is an other problem which is not identified yet, but it should not fill up the harddrives.. How to repeat: No idea. But the code shows that it can go in an infinite loop and this has happened. Suggested fix: default: fprintf(output, "Unknown signal type\n"); } Print the Unknown signal only ones and bail out probably setting some flag and check each loop.. Can't really return as there is some output afterwards.
