[Mono-list] Some issues with mono 2.0

[Maxim]

Joshua,

thanks you for explanation.

For about week ago we've installed  mono 2.0 RC4.
So, the situation is the following:
1) something happens. Sometimes:
 [Thu Oct 09 01:39:16 2008] [alert] Requesting termination of
abtronics.ru mod-mono-server for restart...
System.Threading.ThreadAbortException: Thread was being aborted

Server stack trace:

....

sometimes something like this:

[Wed Oct 08 00:55:48 2008] [error] (70014)End of file found: read_data
failed
[Wed Oct 08 00:55:48 2008] [error] Command stream corrupted, last
command was 0


2) mod_mono stop to close connections, number of concurrent connections
fast reach limit
note: load of server for this time far from 100%

3) service becomes temporary unavailable, a lot of records like
[Wed Oct 08 13:55:43 2008] [error] Maximum number (70) of concurrent
mod_mono requests to /tmp/mod_mono_dashboard_abtronics.ru_2.lock
reached. Droping request.
in logs.
Note, that it's only "concurrent" requests, not "concurrent and
waiting". So, it seems like these requests doesn't wait (sleep).
I don't know is this situation A) or B)

For now we've moved some services to other server. In few days will
upgrade mono to 2.0 official release and see what happen.
If problem repeats we will try to use profiler for more deep
investigation of this situation.

All the best,
Max Karavaev
