[Freeipmi-devel] Re: FreeIPMI - Alpha-4 QA-1 Released.

[Albert Chu]

There seems to be a bug in the sensors code.  The code does not always
consistently cache all 107 sensors on the tiger4s.  It sometimes finds
less than that, and subsequently can't read those sensors.  Its happened
to me 4 times out of maybe 30-35 tries.

here's one instance

tdev3|/home/achur 148>/usr/sbin/sensors -f
flushing cache... done
tdev3|/home/achur 149>time /usr/sbin/sensors
Creating sensors data repository cache. This may take a while...
