Re: do_try_to_free_pages failed

2001-10-01 Thread Andrew Lattis

check your memory and swap utiliation with 'free', most likely you have or had
no free memory at the time those messages where occuring.
ram is cheap, i'd add more. if thats not possible atleast add more swap.
or it could be one application using way to much memory for some reason,
you can see individual memory usage with 'memstat'.

Re: Frequent Strange Requests

2001-09-12 Thread Andrew Lattis

that would be either code red or one of its varients, you should be able to 
safely ignore it on anything but IIS servers. as far as what you can do about
it there isn't really much, maybe block it with a IDS but other than that just
sit back and watch the logs scroll past.

Re: Failover with MySQL

check the bottom of this faq, it seems like the best or easiest bet would be to
wait until mysql 4.0...

 Hi,
 
 I would like to know if anybody have a solution to put 2 mysql server in
 failover.
 Does anybody have setting up such architecture ?
 
 To be more understood: I would like to setup 2 mysql server. One is a
 master and would take all requests. When it failed, the other server
 takes the hand and respond to the requets.
 
 If someone have already setup this, i'm very interessed by his
 experiment.
 
 Cheers,
 Olivier Buisson

Re: Dual processors machines and process management

http://www.gui.uva.es/linux/FAQ/SMP-FAQ-2.html#ss2.2
there is a link to a smp patch for procps..or if you don't mind it being X based
you can use xosview, i've used the stardard debian packaged xosview with ssh
forwarding before and it worked fine for showing utilization, not quite as
much info as ps though.
