Salvatore, you can ignore the part below, try following the "--shm" advice in other part of this thread. Also the previous suggestion to compile corosync with --small-memory-footprint may be of help, but comes with other costs (expect lower throughput). Chrissie, I have a plausible explanation and if it's true, then the same will be reproduced wherever /dev/shm is small enough. If I am right, then the offending commit is https://github.com/corosync/corosync/commit/238e2e62d8b960e7c10bfa0a8281d78ec99f3a26 (present since 2.4.3), and while it arranges things for the better in the context of prioritized, low jitter process, it all of a sudden prevents as-you-need memory acquisition from the system, meaning that the memory consumption constraints are checked immediately when the memory is claimed (as it must fit into dedicated physical memory in full). Hence this impact we likely never realized may be perceived as a sort of a regression. Since we can calculate the approximate requirements statically, might be worthy to add something like README.requirements, detailing how much space will be occupied for typical configurations at minimum, e.g.: - standard + --small-memory-footprint configuration - 2 + 3 + X nodes (5?) - without any service on top + teamed with qnetd + teamed with pacemaker atop (including just IPC channels between pacemaker daemons and corosync's CPG service, indeed) -- Jan (Poki)
