Justman" To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Subject: Apache, load-balancing, and httpd proccesses stuck in the D state Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, all. We're running six PIII/500s behind two Foundry ServerIron layer 4 switches to do load balancing for our new webservers, all of which using a common filestore, a NetApp F720. The machines are all running FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE along with Apache 1.3.9+FP2K extensions. Periodically, some httpd processes will get stuck in the D state, and I have a feeling that causes some sites with FP extensions and some CGI sites to get stuck, spewing where it's able, "Internal server error" waiting for output from a given script. Any thoughts on this one? --Ian. --- Ian R.
