r345 Ubuntu Freeze Up every two days or so

[miket]

I know this is kind of a known issue, but this might add some insight.  This is the last thing in my console everytime it freezes:

* Assertion at sgen-os-posix.c:60, condition `info->doing_handshake' not met

Apparently, this could be a mono issue.  Hope this help.

In r351 I've been trying to figure out what the problem could possibly be and made some optimization.
Let me know if this release is working any better.

Thanks.  Just put it on and I'll keep an eye on it

Yes, on r351 I just got it again:

* Assertion at sgen-os-posix.c:60, condition `info->doing_handshake' not met

Happening again:  * Assertion at sgen-os-posix.c:60, condition `info->doing_handshake' not met

Shame...this is the best interface out there, but maybe mono is just not production ready yet.

what release of mono are you using?
seems like 2.10 doesn't have the bug.

3.2.1  I was on the older one, but when it was freezing my whole server every couple of days...
(It was a CPU soft lockup coming from mono)
Maybe I'll try rolling back and see if that old issue was resolved

[Gene]

also 3.2.8 might solve the "doing_handshake" bug.

Gene was right-  v358 on Mono 3.2.8 is completely solid.  I've had a week with no problems.  Pretty happy now that everything is so stable.
