Lewis, Please give me a list of all modules that you have compiled into your server.
FWIW - I have been running several high volume servers on FreeBSD-2.1.x and 2.2.x. I too see the eventual full swap area. I managed to track down the cause of SEGVs I was seeing as beeing a problem with PHP files. I have not had a single SEGV in 12 hours. However, swap space is still disappearing at the same rate. > The contract type is `' with a response time of 3 business hours. > A first analysis should be sent before: Wed Apr 16 15:00:01 PDT 1997 > > > >Number: 406 > >Category: general > >Synopsis: Severe memory leak -- possibly due to SIGSEGV > >Confidential: no > >Severity: critical > >Priority: medium > >Responsible: apache (Apache HTTP Project) > >State: open > >Class: sw-bug > >Submitter-Id: apache > >Arrival-Date: Wed Apr 16 11:40:01 1997 > >Originator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Organization: > apache > >Release: Apache/1.2b8 > >Environment: > FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE #0: Sun Apr 13 > Server version Apache/1.2b8 PHP/FI-2.0b11. > (256MB RAM, httpd.h:#define HARD_SERVER_LIMIT 500) > >Description: > procs memory page faults cpu > r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr w0 in sy cs us sy id > 2 1 0 122464 87344 19 0 0 0 19 0 1 762 1970 1236 27 17 56 > > grep -i SEGV error_log | wc -l > 632 <-- 55 per hour! > > ** Continual segment violations, to the tune of almost 1 per minute, > are slowly eating away at server memory resources.
