I recently setup a server on the Internet in a fairly default FC5T2 configuration. I had it running kernel 2.6.15-1.1955_FC5 for 9 days when I noticed that it had apparently run out of kernel memory. All processes were highly swapped and the OOM killer was killing processes (by the time I noticed the problem most services had been killed). The machine is a P3 with 256M of RAM, it has full net access with no firewall (iptables is used in a fairly default configuration but there is nothing in front of the machine protecting it). Is there a known kernel memory leak in 2.6.15-1.1955_FC5? The machine in question has BIND, Postfix, Amavis + clamav, and Postgrey installed. However as it doesn't yet have an MX record pointing to is there has been little use (some DNS traffic is all that it would get). I tried rebooting the machine and it crashed. I guess that the OOM killer killed something that was needed for a reboot. Tomorrow when I get it running again I will upgrade it to the latest kernel. Let me know if there are any tests I should perform if this happens again (unfortunately I can't get a net-dump server in there but disk-dump is an option I guess). -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
