Can't open device /dev/dvb/adapter0/ca3 (errno=16 Device or resource busy

[KingOtto]

Hi everyone,

I got the following error message:

Can't open device /dev/dvb/adapter0/ca3 (errno=16 Device or resource busy

Besides any configuration, what may be the cause and what adapter is being referred to? I have a Dreambox 8000.
Till a while ago I never had this error, now since about latest 2 newest versions of Oscam (client) it is there once in a while, so I need to reset Oscam, otherwise no picture.

Anyone?

Thanks,

King Otto

Hello,

That's because the temporary directory is removed while a file inside is still open.
And that's really likely the unix socket used by the server's listener.

What happens if you do this instead:

import multiprocessing

manager = multiprocessing.Manager()
manager.shutdown()
del manager

Thanks for your reply bonilla.

So, maybe you have a perfect solution, but how do I do this and where, and what does it do? Any idea adapter0/ca3 is referring to?

Hope to be hearing from you again.

your problem is probably connected with the fact that full flash memory and for proper operation of your receiver you need to clear the flash

KVF1966. You are great, thanks! That did the trick, removed some skins etc I did not use anyway, and voila.... Had 6 MB free at first, now about 20. Works like a charm.

Cheers,
