Strange problem. Possibly not related to LTSP, but anyway: We've got latest LTSP server running on RedHat 7.2 1.5Gb of memory with 2Gb of swapspace and 2-mirrored SCSI disks. And we have about 70 ltsp users. It works fine, but a week ago and today we had a strange crash. Suddenly with no visible reason every client was thrown out of system. It's not even possible to open telnet session on LTSP server. When I tried to reboot it, every service that must be stopped during shutdown failed. But the system rebooted successfully in the end.
After reboot in the /var/log/messages file I've found strange messages just before crash: May 29 08:05:23 ncmaster gdm(pam_unix)[2823]: session opened for user martinv by (uid=0) May 29 08:05:29 ncmaster gdm[3200]: gdm_slave_exec_script: Can't fork script process! May 29 08:05:29 ncmaster exiting on signal 15 And I have another system script that instead of doing something usuful put next lines in its log file just before crash: /usr/local/bin/checkps: fork: Cannot allocate memory /usr/local/bin/checkps: fork: Cannot allocate memory Looks like I ran out of memory, but with 2 Gb of swap space that is always free I doubt it's true: 1:56pm up 5:32, 84 users, load average: 0.12, 0.28, 0.31 1287 processes: 1196 sleeping, 2 running, 89 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 7.2% user, 7.5% system, 0.4% nice, 84.7% idle Mem: 1544412K av, 1460060K used, 84352K free, 0K shrd, 57844K buff Swap: 2097136K av, 52K used, 2097084K free 436012K cached Any hints? _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
