• LogFile writes Disk Full when ZModem fails

    From Vitus Zeel@21:1/106 to All on Tue Jul 16 13:49:11 2019
    Hi,

    i have an error/bug to report:

    everytime when a zmodem transfer (up/download) fails and the carrier got lost mystic starts writing two lines into the logfile until the disk is full or
    the task (windows) is killed by myself by hand.

    the lines are:

    2019.07.15 23:56:33 WBE Socket Write status 10054
    2019.07.15 23:56:33 WBE Socket Write result 10054
    2019.07.15 23:56:33 WBE Socket Write status 10054
    2019.07.15 23:56:33 WBE Socket Write result 10054
    2019.07.15 23:56:33 WBE Socket Write status 10054
    2019.07.15 23:56:33 WBE Socket Write result 10054

    as you can see it writes nearly every millisecond to the logfile. my disk got full the fifth time now and i thought it's time to report it.

    if the logfile options in mystic -cfg would have a function i had a
    workaround found. but they don't, so no workaround.

    in my bbs i have every day down and uploads. i've testet moretimes up/downloading to reproduce this kind of error while zmodem is active but i wasn't successful. i spoke with one user and he uses DOS 6.22 with telemate 4.01.

    i think the main issue is, that mystic or the internal zmodem from mystic
    can't detect a carrier lost. if the node/task would be closed if the carrier got lost, the logfile wouldn't grow until die disk is full as hell. switching off the logfile for this kind of msg would be also ok but it's more a symptomatic cure as an root cause cure.

    and yes, i thought about changing the internal zmodem from mystic - but i'm very happy with it - it works well except with this issue.

    i hope there is a solution for me soon :)
