What's watchping? Can you show us your snippet watchping.go? [end of handshake protocol]

Please take a look at https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/MinimumRequirements. You are using unsupported, a bit older Linux kernel: Linux YF-DGE2 2.6.18-164.el5. We can guess that the difference btw Go 1.10 and Go 1.9 on filesystem manipulation using runtime-integrated poller might be the root cause, unfortunately. Can you try your snippet on Linux kernel 2.6.23 or above?

Errno value 38 is ENOSYS. The change from 1.9 to 1.10 is that in 1.9 we call the epoll_wait system call but in 1.10 we call the epoll_pwait system call. epoll_pwait was added to the Linux kernel in version 2.6.19. You are running on version 2.6.18. So that is why the failure is happening.

According to https://golang.org/wiki/MinimumRequirements we require Linux kernel version 2.6.23 or later. If 1.9 has been working for you, you've been lucky. We have no plans to support kernel versions before 2.6.23, so I'm going to close this issue. That said, you could patch runtime/sys_linux_amd64.s to go back to calling epoll_wait instead of epoll_pwait.
