Since upgrading to a news server running FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE and
inn-1.5.1, I've been seeing messages such as:
May 27 03:27:24 jsbach innd: overview!:20:proc:15712 wakeup
May 27 03:27:24 jsbach innd: overview!:20:proc:15712 cant write Resource
temporarily unavailable
May 27 03:27:24 jsbach innd: overview!:20:proc:15712 blocked sleeping 120
The problem seems to begin soon after expireover runs, but can persist
after expireover finishes. Throttling the server doesn't help - the
problem persists even if the system is totally quiescent. Eventually
the data gets tossed:
May 27 03:33:33 jsbach innd: overview!:20:proc:15712 cant flush count
99777 Resource temporarily unavailable
May 27 03:33:33 jsbach innd: overview! spooling 99777 bytes
May 27 03:33:33 jsbach innd: DEBUG ERROR SITEspool trashed:20 overview!:15
May 27 03:33:33 jsbach innd: overview! closed
The box I'm using has an AMD K5-PR133 w/ 128MB of RAM. The overview
files are on a separate 2 gig Seagate Hawk disk drive which is mounted
noatime. I tried increasing resource limits (open files and processes)
both in the kernel and for the news user w/o success. INN-1.5.1 is
standard except for security patch 05.
Does anyone have a solution or any insights?
