    I also just had this problem in 2.2.14pl.
    What happend was the server got filled up with an extra on the run. Databackup, the extra, got triggert by a haywired cron thus filling up the whole server with db backups.
    What i don't understand is why Wayfinder could crash the site because of this???

    • Hm. Wayfinder does some fiddling with the cache just before the ksort function. Is your Wayfinder call cached or uncached?

      It would be interesting to take a site that is experiencing this problem and replace Wayfinder with pdoMenu.

        @sottwell, I still keep getting the same problem on a number of sites and my host now says it's NOT caused by any space issues their end, so replacing Wayfinder with pdoMenu is a very interesting idea! I've now tried this on one of the sites that's been having this problem every few months, so I'll keep an eye open and see if the problem goes away. Feel free to remind me if I forget to update you of the progress smiley

        Incase anyone else wants to try the same, install pdoTools and replace your Wayfinder call with a pdoMenu call. Here's what my menu call looks like:

        Before:

        [[!Wayfinder?
        &startId=`0`
        &level=`0`
        &outerTpl=`navOuter`
        &innerTpl=`navInner`
        &rowTpl=`navRowTpl`
        &hereClass=`current`
        &outerClass=`nav-menu`
        ]]

        After:

        [[pdoMenu?
        &parents=`0`
        &level=`0`
        &tplOuter=`navOuter`
        &tplInner=`navInner`
        &tplParentRow=`navRowTpl`
        &hereClass=`current`
        &outerClass=`nav-menu`
        ]] [ed. note: sketchi last edited this post 9 years, 11 months ago.]

          Replacing Wayfinder with pdoTools seems to do the job so far on the site I've tried it on smiley

          I'm now trying to do this on another site which has been experiencing the same problem, but unfortunately I don't manage to achieve the same with pdoMenu as with Wayfinder in this case sad
