SEVERE: I/O error in channel Chunked connection to...

[mcs130]

Hello,

We are currently seeing the following issue using the jenkins-cli.jar
with Jenkins 1.430.

From inside a Jenkins job (I’ll call it the parent) I’m trying to
execute multiple jobs using the client jar. On the last job, I
include the –s parameter so the parent job will not finish until the
last job in the list is complete. The problem is that after about 15
secs of waiting, the parent job ends (fails) with the EOF exception
below. We have searched all day and tried numerous things including
reducing the number of jobs and also trying to run them sequentially.

Has anyone seen something similar?

Relevant info:

* Running on SLES9 Linux server with 4 CPUs and a plenty of diskspace.
* Tomcat 7.0.14
* JDK 1.6.0_14
* Only ONE Master configuration - no slaves are configured
* 3 Executors - (one less than the max number of CPUs)


Any insight as to what could be causing this would be appreciated...

To add to this, we have tried using both the older hudson-cli.jar and
jenkins-cli.jar since installing the Jenkins server - we were running
1.428 and first saw the error. We went ahead and updated to 1.430
thinking perhaps that might help but we still see this error. One
other item to note some of the jobs were renamed recently, but a check
of the folder names on the filesystem reflects this correctly.

We have the same set up on an older version of Hudson (1.339) and on
there it works fine....only when moved over to Jenkins, do we now see
this.
