Re: [Summary-Talk] Open log file errors

Jason:

Any thoughts on what could be causing this? I have to restart summary 
every
36 hours or so.

it's always the same files that go south with the 0 open error on read.

I've installed another 128 megs of ram, so the vnodes are even higher than
before with no effect.

I also upgraded fom .9 to .10, no effect.

Thanks.
