NoMachine Linux Workstation 6.1.6 generates logfiles

[mtariqgyahoo]

I keep running out of inodes on my machine.

/usr/NX/var/db/failed gets populated with 2.5 million files over a few weeks.

/usr/NX/var/log/nxserver.log keeps printing this message very 10 seconds

2018-05-14 17:27:38 824.344 98631 NXSERVER WARNING! D4962003C748F00ACA445538A9BE8844 nxnode died with exit code 11.

This perpetual logging generates a huge number of files where my drive just runs out of inodes.

Hello mtariqgyahoo,

For some reason nxnode process is crashing on your Linux system. Consecutive failed attempts of restarting it, lead to generation of huge number of leftover files in /usr/NX/var/db/failed directory.

It’s possible to remove them by running in terminal:

sudo /etc/NX/nxserver –history clear

To prevent creation of the next files you can temporarily disable nxserver by running:

sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver –shutdown

Next, we should try to understand why nxnode process is not working correctly. Gather server-side logs from your linux machine according to these instructions:

Gather, if possible, backtrace of crashing nxnode according to:

Send backtrace and logs to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com.
