Greetings,
Thanks to all that responded to my query. I increased the amount of shared memory and that did the trick.
Thanks again.
Mike
Greetings,
Earlier today we added a system to our main hobbit server. Upon adding the system we received a hobbitd msg of:
Oversize status msg fro xxx. xxxxx:ports truncated (n=294359, limit=262144)
When I looked in the hobbitserver.cfg file to increase the maxmsg_status setting I did not see a listing for maxmsg_status. Thinking that I was being smart, I added a ling to hobbitserver.cfg for maxmsg_client. The line added was as followed:
MAXMSG_STATUS="768"
I restarted hobbit after adding the line and saw the following message in the hobbitlaunch.log:
2006-09-25 11:48:12 Loading hostnames 2006-09-25 11:48:12 Loading saved state 2006-09-25 11:48:12 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984 2006-09-25 11:48:12 Setting up signal handlers 2006-09-25 11:48:12 Setting up hobbitd channels 2006-09-25 11:48:12 Could not get shm of size 786432: Cannot allocate memory 2006-09-25 11:48:12 Cannot setup client channel 2006-09-25 11:48:12 Task hobbitd terminated, status 1
I removed the line and restarted hobbit, but hobbitd kept failing. I tried rebooting the system, but hobbitd was still failing.
Ultimately I stopped hobbit, deleted the hobbitd.pid file and restarted hobbit. All has been well since, excepting the original oversized status messages.
My question is, what did I do wrong? Where exactly should I add the maxmsg_status line (or the maxmsg_client, maxmsg_data, maxmsg_stachg for that matter)?
I am running 4.2.0.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Mike
