Re: [Summary-Talk] Wish we could leave it running
OK, thanks for the tip. vnode setting was 21,504, so I tripled it. I've set Summary to reanalyze every hour, so I should have an idea of how we're doing in a few hours.
Thanks!

That is how Summary is designed to work.
This odes not seem to be possible.
This does work for most people. If it is not working for you we need to
figure out where things are going wrong.
A first run after launching usually
goes well. After that, it's iffy. It usually takes no more than another
run or two to generate a page of errors opening log files it read
earlier without complaint. At this point, connecting to the overview
page produces a page void of data.
This sounds sort of like the vnode problem with MacOS, thought it is
difficult to tell for sure without more information.
You can test for the vnode problem by using "sysctl kern.maxvnodes" at
the command line to find out how many vnodes your system is allocating.
Then triple that number and use the command "sudo sysctl -w
kern.maxvnodes=50000", replacing 50000 with the number you got by
tripling the number you have now. Then try running Summary and see if it
works or not. That command will raise the number of vnodes available only
until the next time the machine reboots, but that should be long enough
to find out if you are having a vnode related problem.
If that doesn't work, then I need more information. What is the exact
wording of the error messages, etc.
