Timur,
So I'm now running a Git pull of 2.2.2 with the pthread stack size set to 32K on a Centos 6.5 x86_64, 4 Proc, 8Gig Ram.
I can spawn a 1000 threads with the " afcmd tthr 1000" command. No issues so far.
I'll keep you posted...

Great! I'm going to pull down the new afserver code and test it.

So on my afserver machine each pthread stack uses 10485760 of virtual memory on a stock 2.2.1 afserver. Here's the patch code if someone would like to try it: --- dlThread.cpp 2017-03-15 12:09:05.300428237 -0700 +++ dlThread.cpp.mod 2017-03-15 12:08:45.772250461 -0700 @@ -23,6 +23,7 @@ /* The follow...

@selsner, Are you on a 32 or 64 bit kernel running the afserver? Timur, Why is the stack size for each thread so large? I have been testing an afserver with the thread stack size set to 32768 which reduces the virtual memory usage. I couldn't find where the stack size was being set so I add this pth...

The same i can do with a mask parameter, which already exists:

Code: Select all

or:

Code: Select all

"mask":"station[a|b|c]"

Hi Timur,
I want to try this out. What file should this get placed into?
Thanks,
Scott

Timur,
Aah I see it's a bug on github #308.

So when we use the nuke AF submission script and the job has completed and I want to delete the nuke job I find it picks any machine randomly from the mask
to delete(command_post) the .nk file. How would I set the command_post to run on the same machine every time?

Hi Timur,
Is there a way of controlling where the "Post Command" will execute?
Say for example always on render node 1.
Thanks,
Scott

Just changed the two parameters. I'll see how they go.
Thanks Timur,
Scott

Hi Timur, We upgraded to 2.2.1 and noticed that on our remote render machines which are in another office that AFrender will quit. To give you an idea of the topology, We have a main office and a remote office connected via a tunnel through the internet. The tunnel can and does go up and down any ti...
