Hi folks, I built couchdb 1.2.0 from source on our RHEL6 machine. We're looking to transition our production environment to this new machine once it's fully setup. However we're running into serious stability issues with the setup.
When under moderate load (like building views on one design doc that's pretty lightweight - no reduces, just 4-5 views emitting simple property for a key, and null values), the machine will unexpectedly reboot. The system log files and dmesg show no sign of distress, duress, or panic, just as if it's humming along, then the logs show the standard bootup messages with no indication of an orderly shutdown. The top processes shown at the time show regular CPU/memory usage of couchjs, beam, then bam, the entire machine gets borked hard. The total DB size is 12 gigs, and we're in the process of splitting it out to smaller chunks. It's been a rather frustrating process on this install as view index rebuilds would cause it to crash, and most recently, a local filtered replication hung and caused the machine to reboot. *System Info:* RHEL 6.1 (stock, latest updates as of this writing, nothing else running right now) 2.6.32-131.28.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Apr 19 06:41:00 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The machine is running off of vmware ESX hypervisor, with 3CPUs and 6gb of ram. The only other config of note I can think of is that our couchdb databases and views reside in directories mounted via ecryptfs. Have others ran into issues with RHEL6 and 1.2.0? Thanks, Dan
