In the future, what kind of diagnostic information (memory, processes, etc.) can I provide to help resolve issues? Are there specific linux commands I should execute and provide results? 2. Is the root cause a Linux or Sedna configuration problem, or is the problem a Sedna DB issue? 3. Is there any configuration that would be considered optimal for an Amazon micro-instance that has nothing but Senda as the core process? The DB can grow to 6 GB, number of required simultaneous connections is limited, maybe 10 max. I don't mind recompiling code if that helps. (I think I have asked this question before, sorry for being repetitive.) 4. I noticed that Sedna build is up to build 3.5.13. Are there any good reasons to move from 3.4.66 to the latest build? Are there any stable builds since the 3.4.66 release? I have all the data associated with db stored elsewhere, so I am going to simply rebuild the instance and move on. I just want to do my best from having the issue occur again. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
