[distcc] Can't get more jobs then 4?

[Joshua Baldock]

Hi Guys,

Been testing distcc in our environment, and am hoping to implement soon. I have come across something, that I need some guidence on. When compiling code I am using the -j10 option. If I am correct, this should be sending 10 parrallel jobs to my distcc servers. However when using the distccmon-text, I see the following...

27790  Blocked                                                            [0]
 27801  Blocked                                                            [0]
 27803  Blocked                                                            [0]
 27791  Blocked                                                            [0]
 27797  Blocked                                                            [0]
 27802  Blocked                                                            [0]
 27816  Compile     mltest_process_win32.cc                       10.0.0.1[0]
 27808  Compile     mltest_validate_instrument_dow                10.0.0.1[1]
 27789  Compile     mltest_environment.cc                         10.0.0.1[2]
 27788  Compile     mltest_validate_util.cc                       10.0.0.1[3]

So it seems to be locking the build to only 4 jobs. I have only got 1 distcc server and have set --jobs 80, to make sure that it isn't this causing the issue.

Can someone explain what could be happening here, and if Im missing a configuration item that may be stopping this using more jobs?

Cheers,
