So far, so good - after 7 events (10 moins each) all four cameras have a 'full house' - with some alarms as the neighbour rang the doorbell!

I'll wait little while longer and release a revised RPM if you have no problems with in a few more hours. I have the patch on my server and I see no issues

I've got my installation set up with the 6 cameras, 2 in colour now. Overnight it ran for 9 hours with 4 cameras, no lost events. I then reconfigured it for the 6 cameras and it has run for 7 hours with no lost events. I think that is conclusive!

Thanks very much, Phil!

Good to here.
I released a new rpm with the patch included as well.

Good. I'll be doing a 1.21.3 release later this week with this, and a couple of other fixes, in.

Do you wnat me to step up the check/fix script for the symlinks?

Using vi and applying the patch by hand is certainly one way to go (I had to do it to patch the 2.4.29 kernel once because the patch was based on 2.4.26), but the typical method is to use a command such as the following which will automagically insert/change/delete lines in the source files for you and report back with any problems:

patch -p0 < patchfile.txt

Thanks for that - I suppose looking up 'patch' in my 'Linux in a nutshell' would have been logical, but I took the 'quick and dirty' option. All part of the learning experience! I'm glad it solved the problem as I've lost no more events since.

im glad this is fixed now well done phil. I will try it out on mine when the rpm is ready(i cant vi or whatever it was)

I installed 1.21.3 over the weekend and it's now run long enough to be sure this is fixed in the release. Many thanks!
