I have successfully setup an OpenSolaris 2009.06 based box, that does "rsync --in-place" followed by a "zfs snapshot" every night, effectively backing up my daily work.
Today, however, I found out that I can't login over SSH - my PuTTY reports "fork failed: Not enough space". I can't even login from the console, where I get "Out of memory allocating connection context". The machine has 4GB of RAM, and does nothing else except this backup, so I find it really weird that it's out of memory... or perhaps swap space. Regardless, what do I do? I don't want to use the power button for an instant poweroff (fearing it might corrupt my ZFS pool) - does OpenSolaris have something similar to Linux's "Ctrl-Alt-SysRq-S" (emergency sync)? Or Linux's Ctrl-Alt-Del (which safely reboots?) Any advice in debugging/solving this most appreciated. Kind regards, Thanassis. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ sysadmin-discuss mailing list sysadmin-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/sysadmin-discuss
