Hi,

*** Notice -- *** TROUBLE: buffer allocation error! Increase BUFFERPOOL! ***

this error keeps happening during netsplit and is there any way to fix it? by increasing the buffer pool during config which is always set at 18. What is the best settings ?

thanks

I'm sure codemastr will tell you the same thing:

Report all bugs to: http://bugs.unrealircd.org

Aside from that, just increase it. Usually doubling it will work.

No I won't, because it's not a bug.

It's basically a message that just says the bufferpool isn't large enough to meet the demands of the server.

hi,

i don't think its a bug its just that during major netsplit the server seems like it cant handle the amount of data its receiving and looking at the process its running at well over 70%. it keeps booting off whatever servers trying to link with the same error forever.

What happen is if you restart it afresh, it begins to function normally. Incresing the buffer pool actually doesnt help at all and it crash almost immediately

thanks

err. maybe it's a good idea to have ziplink enable, well i don't really familiar with buffer pool kinda thing but it's worth to try to enable ziplink between the servers .. cheers! :lol:
