[Orca-users] Orcallator - Segmentation Fault

[Dmitry Berezin]

Adrian,

I believe that the actual problem is not with the array sizes, but has to do
with the "stale" disk devices. SE "segfaults" when it tries to access a
device that is not currently present on the system. That is why the problem
is usually seen on the clustered systems with shared storage or systems with
BCV devices that frequently change their state to offline. A number of
people had previously reported that rebuilding device tree fixed the
problem.

I have not had time to look at the code, so I do not know if this could be
solved by changing scripts or SE itself has to be patched.

  -Dmitry.
