Folks,

I found a problem with the disk report handler in the post-RC6 patch - it could get stuck in an infinite loop, due to a bug I introduced when trying to add support for AS/400 disk reports. If you're bitten by this, you'll have a hobbitd_larrd proces that is just spinning like mad, burning cpu time but doing absolutely nothing (so no graph updates).

I have updated the post-RC6 patch with a proper way of handling this.

If you applied the original post-RC6 patch, back it out with:

cd hobbit-4.0-RC6 patch -R -p1 </tmp/post-RC6.patch

Then apply the new one:

cd hobbit-4.0-RC6 patch -p1 </tmp/post-RC6-v2.patch

Then run "make clean; make", stop Hobbit and run "make install", then start Hobbit again.

This also includes a couple of other fixes, including one where removing a host from the bb-hosts file could cause it to get "stuck" in Hobbit as purple, with no way of removing the host (except stopping and starting Hobbit); and an improvement so you can list multiple week-days in time-specifications for alerts, downtime etc.

Regards, Henrik
