Thanks Pavel, although actually the command is: # ipcs -u
ipcs -m
is not very useful - just produces a lot of spam with no totals.
Comparing
ipcs -u
with
ipcs -l
showed up the problem.

Hi,
What about to increase shmmax in the system when it complains that cannot get allocated new 262kB? You can check what is your size: # sysctl -a|grep shmmax This cmd says you what is already used: # ipcs -m
You can increase it in /etc/sysctl (just put there something big, it is just a restriction, kernel.shmmax = XXXX) and then apply it by : # sysctl -p
Cheers,
Pavel Hampl

I uninstalled hobbit-4.2.0-7.el5.re.i386.rpm and compiled hobbit-4.2.0 from source with the allinone.patch and get exactly the same error.
It might be worth noting that this was originally a minimum CentOS 5 install
- I had to install gcc-c++ (and rrd-devel and pcre-devel) to compile hobbit, and I previously had to install gcc for compiling some other software - all from yum.
The server has 2 GB of RAM but is running several other services.
Any other ideas?

Just compile it from source. If you don't know how to do that I can give you instructions command by command, just ask. I use CentOS5 on my boxes but I've never bothered with the RPM.

I installed an RPM of hobbit-4.2.0 called hobbit-4.2.0-7.el5.re.i386.rpm, which I probably got from here:

This is the first time I've started it, so I presume that this is normal: "Cannot access checkpoint file /usr/libexec/hobbit/server/tmp/hobbitd.chk for restore". The problem looks like this: "Could not get shm of size 262144: No space left on device". I see that there are two similar issues listed on <http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/known-issues.html> http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/known-issues.html that relate to FreeBSD, but none of the sysctl keys listed are in this version of Linux:
cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5.centos.plus (mockbuild at builder6.centos.org <mailto:mockbuild at builder6.centos.org> ) (gcc version 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-52)) #1 SMP Thu Oct 25 06:49:40 EDT 2007
Google returns 1 result for "Could not get shm of size" "No space left on device" and that was the Known Issues page I've already checked. Any ideas?
Also, I noticed that the hobbitd.pid file did not get deleted when hobbitd terminated. It seems like it should have been.
Many thanks,
Sebastian
