Subject Firebird Hanging - Need suggestions ???
Author John B. Moore
I've had Firebird running non-stop on this machine for months..

Suddenly it is hanging, twice in the last several days.. (I define
hanging as the inablility to complete any connection)

Some basic background info..
===================

Firebird Version installed FirebirdSS-1.5.0.4290-0.i686.rpm
(Note: It is the ONLY application running on this machine.)

Redhat 9 (with last updates available)
Kernel: kernel-2.4.20-30.9.i686.rpm

Hardware
Processor: Intel P4 2.8 GHz
Memory: 1 Gig
Free Disk Space on Data Partition: 99 Gigs

Database Usage:
Databases: 14
Max users (based on max connections allowed to DB Pools): 70
Average Users (Based on Connections reported in DatabaseWorkbench): 55

=================

Obviously, I'm very concerned..<sigh>

Can anyone help me diagnose this problem.. What to check for..etc..

Have I hit some limit of databases or users..???

John..
