Hi all,

I'm not very good at coding, better at testing. So this is for those 
better at coding than me.

Found a condition in which the master backend will become unresponsive 
although it will not crash (i wish it did that, was a lot clearer).

master backend - normally running, good access to storage
slave backend - running, but read only access to (nfs) storage (yes, 
config error in my network, being solved)
schedule a recording on the slave backend.
at the start of the recording the slave backend will crash, leaving the 
master backend unresponsive. Already ongoing recordings will continue, 
but any new recording will no longer be activated, nor will the master 
backend respond to queries (at least not after some hours, when i 
discovered this).

I hope to have some time tomorrow to further reproduce. Will be a bit 
problematic because an electrician will be present to replace some 
essential parts of the electrical system, causing massive power outage 
in the house :)
 I've seen this error before, and strongly suspecct this to be a 
complete problem description.


Cheers,

Rudy
