Hi @RMerlin,

Since 386.4 Final I've started seeing this on my logs. Should I worry?

Code:

The frequently reported "dcd crash". Often caused by an incompatibility with Diversion's Pixelserv. Worried?, that's down to you.
 
Same here on my AX88U 386.4 , I have never seen this before in logs. I have been using the exact same amtm scripts and settings on older Merlin versions on the same AX88U, but this is the first time I notice this.

dcd process crash, caused by pixelserv-tls. There's been quite a few posts about this on the forums, the only option right now is to uninstall pixelserv-tls.
 
Thank you very much. I found an option which disables pixelserv, so I disabled it, hoping that it might be enough. I will keep an eye on the logs to see the result.
 
FWIW, I also had these dcd process crashes after a dirty upgrade (386.3_2 to 386.4). I was using diversion + pixelserv and all Trend MIcro disabled. There were no dcd errors before the upgrade. I then did a full WPS reset and manual rebuild, still with diversion + pixelserv and all Trend MIcro disabled, and the dcd crashes have gone.

I didn't have the time to do a full reset and reconfigure everything, but probably do it during the weekend.
 
Same dcd issue, diversion lite so no pixelserv, but disabling diversion makes it go away.

Different error. Your process crash is PS_pod not dcd.
 
@ColinTaylor Thanks! But what does "PS_pod" do?

UPDATE: did power off/on - fatal signal entries disappeared... Now i am puzzled - router is not that old...
