Detectives,
smtpd (running from tcpserver) on my mailserver is logging this A LOT:
958588648.209920 tcpserver: warning: dropping connection, unable to fork: tempor
ary failure
I ran strace on the tcpserver and it's getting:
fork() = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
Now, EAGAIN means there wasn't enough memory to fork BUT, there is
haps of free swap on that box. To test, I wrote a little C program
that mallocs 20 Mb of memory and then does a fork(), works fine.
Anybody got any ideas?
Timbo.
