[asterisk-users] asterisk 1.4 freezes with queues and iax after virtualization
Hi folks, Recently a customer of us moved his "old" asterisk installation, an 1.4.44 to a VMWARE infraestructure and has started having some weird issues. Asterisk started going slow and even refused to start up. After few tests, it only loaded when deactivating queues and iax2 (with noload in modules file). The thing is that it had been working with these modules loaded and lately it just freezes when trying to use these modules. We've made some checks to the server and there seems to be no issues with load, with swap, with wait (disk access), or other server parameters. Could it be some timing issues? How could we debug further the issue? Thanks a lot in advance, Samuel. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I would suggest upgrading which would also make the timerfd kernel timing source available if you are running on a recent operating system.
