Re: router

Peering deeply into the tea leaves, it appears from the log that you restarted netinfo three times in the interval shown. The first time was due to link failure on an ethernet device; the second time, it's anyone's guess; and the third was due to reassertion of link.

The cause for the routing failures is not clear to me, and (looking in xnu/bsd/net/route.c), a bit perplexing. This could be normal behavior, or it could show a problem, but without further info, it's difficult to say. The errors (ESRCH, ENETUNREACH) are returned from the routing code if a delete fails for some reason (ESRCH); or, when adding a route, if there's no way to reach the router address (ENETUNREACH). The first is probably harmless (deleting a route that's not there; could be 'routed' is deleting the default route, and there isn't one yet).

Is this repeatable; recurring; or a 1-shot? If the former 2, can you try running 'routed' in debug mode, and capture some debug output (cf. 'man route', especially -T and -t).

As Allan already mentioned, the 'checksum' messages are not, per se, an indication of errors.

Regards,

Justin

can anybody figure out what actually happened and how can i avoid these
problems in future.

I don't know what's the root cause of your crash, but from the log we see
that the local NetInfo daemon (netinfod) is failing because of a checksum error
on the local NetInfo database: Your local NetInfo database has become
corrupted so NetInfo cannot start (nibindd still keeps trying over and over,
though).
Check the disk for corruption and then restore the local NetInfo database
(you do have a backup, don't you?).

I hope this helps.
