Which memcached version? Which system architecture (AMD64, etc.)? Which libevent version? If you were running it on a 64-bit architecture, was it compiled as a 32-bit app or a 64-bit one?
Our memcached instances are all 13GB and they all run until we have to take the machine down or install a new version. We compile in 64-bit mode and memcached happily chews up all the memory we throw its way. -Steve On 6/6/07 1:01 PM, "Brandon Ooi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > We've seen corruption too on some older linux kernels (2.6.11) with > memcache instances larger than 2gb (no idea why) this would cause weird > issues and if we kept using it would eventually crash by themselves > after a few days. we saw this on 4 different machines.
