Date: Tue, 8 Jul 1997 18:24:52 -0500 X-Priority: 3 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.0.1457.3) Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello there. I manage a few FreeBSD boxes. 3 of these boxes are running FreeBSD 2.2.2 RELEASE.Those 3 boxes are configured very differently: 1 Usenet news server with (a ppro with 256 megs of ram, used and abused). 1 a mail server with 18 megs of ram, and some 16 mailboxes 1 a socks server with 64 megs of ram and a handfull (may 15 ! 20 at a time) connections. The hardware on these 3 system is very different. they do not have anything in common; different MB, controllers, ... These 3 boxes tend to crash after a while, with 'not enough swap space' or not enough mbuf'. Although I cannot guaranty that the problem is related to 2.2.2-RELEASE, none of the other systems I have access to is having thes problems. Has anyine seens this behavior ? As I monitor the news server much closely than the other machines: I have at this time 768Megs of swap space on the machine, and I have noticed that: the first day the system is up, no more than 1% if the swap space is used. The second day, I can see swap space jump to 60 - 70 - 80% (before I reboot the machine). Killing all processes (no reboot) extends the life of the system a little. I am running innd (with a few optimization patches) and named uucp and sendmail on this system).
