From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.0.0; Linux) Description of problem: After upgrading our kickstart RPMs to include the new kernel errata rpm (kernel-2.4.18-17.7.x), we are seeing the following error when restarting httpd on boxes kicked with this config: [Wed Nov 20 16:37:19 2002] [error] mod_ssl: Cannot allocate shared memory: mm:core: failed to acquire semaphore (No space left on device) Perhaps this is related to bug 78019. Seems similar but not exactly. It appears that some process is leaking sempahores. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Kick system with kernel-2.4.18-17.7.x, apache, apache-1.3.22-7, mod_ssl-2.8.5-6, php-4.1.2-7.2.6, postgresql-7.2.1-5 2. Use sqlrelay (from firstworks.com) to broker php's database requests 3. Allow httpd server to run for a while and service many PHP database releated requests (suggest using siege or something similar to inflate the number of requests quickly) 4. Restart apache via apachectl restart Actual Results: The system appears to be out of sempahores for some reason and yields the following error in the apache error_log: [Wed Nov 20 16:37:19 2002] [error] mod_ssl: Cannot allocate shared memory: mm:core: failed to acquire semaphore (No space left on device) Expected Results: Apache gracefully restarts. Additional info: If I can find a way to 100% reproduce the problem I will update the bug later this week or next. Thanks for any light shed on the problem.
This was probably the mm bug, and should have been fixed by: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2002-273.html *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 74543 ***
