SABnzbd crashes during heavy disk load

[Oblivion11]

Hi,

I'm running SABnzbd on a homebuild WHS server with an intel i3 cpu and 2GB memory. Everything runs very smooth, except when there is heavy disk load SABnzbd sometimes just crashes. Eg while I'm copying data from one disk to another at the same time that SABnzbd/Sickbeard is post processing downloads (which also includes moving data between disks).

I checked the log files but I don't see any errors. After I restart SABnzbd, it just continues doing whatever it is was doing before the crash. I don't see any excessive cpu or memory usage on my system (max 30% cpu and 50% memory load).
Is this a known issue  ???

Below an extract of the log file:

SABnzbd crashed just after 2011-03-02 01:40:26,500 (at that time sickbeard was moving the downloaded file to another disk).
At 2011-03-02 08:00:02,500 SABnzbd was restarted (system coming back online after being on standby during the night) and it restarted post processing the last download.


I'm having this issue both with the latest 0.5.x and the 0.6 beta2 releases (windows installer version).

Hard to tell.
It works very stable on my Atom-based WHS server.
Do you see any suspect error messages in the Windows event log?

You might want to try the 0.6.0 Beta2, which supports running as Windows Service.
It also includes a crash detector that will restart SABnzbd should it crash.
BTW: you might want to wait for Beta3 that comes out in a few days.

hmm crash detector ... interesting 

I already tried the 0.6.0 beta2, but didn't install it as a service though.
I'll give this a shot when beta3 comes out.
