OWFS locking up

I recently purchased some HobbyBoard 1wire stuff and set it up and am having a bit of a problem with it.

I am running SuSE 8.3(2.4.20 kernel) with a Perle I/O8+ serial card. I installed fuse 2.5.3 from source and owfs 2.7p4. I load them up as follows:

insmod fuse
/opt/owfs/bin/owserver -p 3001 -d /dev/ttyW6
/opt/owfs/bin/owfs -s localhost:2003 -m /mnt/1wire

Then I run Dan Klien's thermd to poll and graph the data from the sensors(actually just one at the moment). From what I can see thermd only polls owfs for new data once every minute. But after a while, owfs locks up and hangs thermd and owfs. I end up having to kill -9 owfs, which leaves /mnt/1wire in an un-ueable state and I am forced to reboot the computer in order to restart owfs.

I ran owfs without owserver at first and had the same issue with it.

If I don't kill -9 owfs, the computer will hang trying to reboot until the owfs processes are killed off. I can not find any logs that would be helpfull in debugging this.

Any suggestions?

I moved the hub to a PII (Yes, P two) running a newer version of SuSE and then added fuse 2.7.3 and kept the monitoring on the SuSE 8.3 box. It would appear that the older version of fuse running on a quite busy box with the sensors on a multi serial port card caused issues.

I would presume the issue was too much activity on the multi port card. But in any case all is well for now.
