Hi list, I have two servers, one running 4.0 and one with 3.9, they are used as web servers, with a mysql database running on them. Both are more or less idle, but I have seem these messages in /var/log/messages on both servers: bsd: uvm_mapent_alloc: out of static map entries
I found this thread, where someone has seen the same problem: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-tech&m=115959929717470&w=2 The servers are either freezing completely, or may still answer on pings, and carp communication, but it is not possible to log in via ssh, or contact the apache server. this is the output on one of the servers, just after new start: # vmstat -s|grep 'kernel map';grep uvm /var/log/messages 36 kernel map entries Jan 24 08:01:30 www /bsd: uvm_mapent_alloc: out of static map entries Jan 29 07:10:06 www /bsd: uvm_mapent_alloc: out of static map entries Feb 22 22:39:41 www /bsd: uvm_mapent_alloc: out of static map entries here the other running for ten days: # vmstat -s|grep 'kernel map';grep uvm /var/log/messages 672 kernel map entries Jan 24 08:01:30 www /bsd: uvm_mapent_alloc: out of static map entries Jan 29 07:10:06 www /bsd: uvm_mapent_alloc: out of static map entries Feb 22 22:39:41 www /bsd: uvm_mapent_alloc: out of static map entries as I read the message of the other thread, I can change some kernel option, but if I understand the message above correctly, with changing the options, i can only extend the time before a new freeze or problems. Is there anything else I can do to keep the machines up and running? kind regards Sebastian
