Subject: Max field size of job notes
   Date: Tue, 06 Dec 2005 15:05:30 -0800

Could you tell me what the maximum size a frame notes and job notes are?

Last night we had a couple of jobs that "accidentally" created very large
frame notes that appeared to crash rushd. We are looking at preventing this
from happening again but it would be useful to know.

	Hmm, the strings should be dynamically allocated, but you might
	be encountering a line length limit of 1000 chars imposed, due
	to the way the varargs stuff works. (In some cases, sprintf() is
	used, such that it's very difficult to anticipate the size
	of the variable arguments)

	I'll do some tests to verify, but offhand I'd say try to keep
	lines shorter than 1000 chars. Esp in the case of frame notes,
	where the limit would include the width of each line in the
	'rush -lf' report.

	If need be, I can supply a binary with the character limit of
	the sprintf()s expanded to 4096.

Thanks Greg, this is the first time I have seen this happen, and only
because we write the frame sizes out to job notes so the uses can tell if a
frame wrote correctly. Also if a none standard frame size in encountered
automatically re-queue the frame, never host that CPU, and mail an alert.

In one case though a batch job of 360 frames (!) was submitted that output
every frame size to an array and then output that lot to the job notes. Not
sure how many characters, but certainly more than 1000. We have changed the
code here now to stop that happening, so it's not an issue for us, but I
thought it was interesting.

A frame note that long is not really what was intended when we set it up :)

Thanks Greg, this is the first time I have seen this happen, and only
because we write the frame sizes out to job notes so the uses can tell if a
frame wrote correctly. Also if a none standard frame size in encountered
automatically re-queue the frame, never host that CPU, and mail an alert.

In one case though a batch job of 360 frames (!) was submitted that output
every frame size to an array and then output that lot to the job notes. Not
sure how many characters, but certainly more than 1000. We have changed the
code here now to stop that happening, so it's not an issue for us, but I
thought it was interesting.

A frame note that long is not really what was intended when we set it up :)

	In the next maintenance release, I'll have the rush(1) command error out
	if the notes for a frame or jobnotes is too long, to prevent problems.
	It will print out the limit length as part of the error message.

	I've also enlarged the limit.
	This fix will be in 102.42a1
