List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Hey all - We've got a mail server running RHEL AS 3 update 2, postfix, amavisd, imap, spamassassin, squirrelmail. Mail is delivered to local spool. Users home directories are auto-mounted from nfs and each user has got their .procmailrc. The local copy of procmail on the mail server processes these rcs. We've got a couple thousand users. This was working great for two months until a week and a half ago. Since then, every day the server freezes up. We go the console and see 'RPC: sendmsg returned error 12' messages scrolling by. The computer is unresponsive and the only thing we can do is a hard reboot. We're stumped as to what's causing this. It appears error 12 is an ENOMEM (out of memory). So it seems something is trying to allocate memory and not getting it. But we don't know why or what. There's no log messages telling us anything useful. Anyone got any ideas?? -- Regards, Michael Martinez Engineering Manager Tech Computer Center (TCC), Speare Room 128 New Mexico Tech, 801 Leroy Place, Socorro, NM 87801 (505) 835-5388 mikem@nmt.edu http://www.nmt.edu/tcc/ -- http://sftplogging.sourceforge.net http://atftplocalnet.sourceforge.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
