The Main workstation never dies when doing a rendering to its local
path, just when there's network queue and some machines start to
fail. Then it's @ 30% chance of failure.
I spent the ENTIRE day with QEMM and Artisoft tech support, and have
optimized both to the point where there are no conflicts (none they
and I could find, anyway), so I'm going to have to rule that one out.
Maybe I'll be able to switch the 2742 controller for traditional 1742
for a couple of days to see if that's the problem.
I'm really suspecting r3/Lantastic just can't keep up with the
traffic. Not so much that Lantastic can't do it, or that R3 can't do
it, but that put together, in the Video post situation (5-12 seconds
per frame, .5-1.5 megs per frame loading and writing, 3nodes) it's
just too much.
Meshes render fine, and non net rendering is rock solid, now that I've
ironed out every kink I could find.
If you have further thoughts please let me know, and I'd be very happy
to try the IXP if you find time to knock it out. Sure would like to
know EXACTLY what's going on.
Thanks mega mucho again,
