RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Lukas "krteknet" Novy 2013-06-03 14:07:20 UTC 
Description of problem:
Restarting httpd several times in VM leads to No space left on device message in error log and httpd refuses to start

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
httpd-2.4.4-5.el7

How reproducible:
Always (after couple of tries)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Schedule /CoreOs/httpd/Sanity/bz874479-Support-SSLCompression-on-in several times in one recipeset
2. Watch it fails after about 4th try

Actual results:
error_log reads:
[Mon Jun 03 15:36:30.127818 2013] [core:notice] [pid 10499] SELinux policy enabled; httpd running as context unconfined_u:system_r:unconfined

[Mon Jun 03 15:36:31.057620 2013] [:emerg] [pid 10500] AH00020: Configuration Failed, exiting


Expected results:
httpd runs

Additional info:
Simple reboot fixes issue.
There's plenty of space on all volumes.
I'm investigating now if I can reproduce this more simply.
Comment 1 Lukas "krteknet" Novy 2013-06-03 14:11:22 UTC 
Simple

# while true; do killall -9 httpd; httpd; sleep 1; done

can cause this.
Comment 3 Joe Orton 2013-06-03 14:26:24 UTC 
Terminating the httpd parent with SIGKILL is expected to have this effect, SysV semaphores and shm segments cannot be cleaned up reliably if the parent is terminated "with extreme prejudice"...

However this should not be seen during normal operation.  We have been adjusting systemd shutdown handling so this could be a side-effect.
Comment 7 Joe Orton 2013-06-03 14:50:33 UTC 
Put the env vars in /etc/sysconfig/httpd
Comment 8 Lukas "krteknet" Novy 2013-06-03 15:30:59 UTC 
If this is intended behaviour, feel free to close this bug, my issue is solved.
Comment 9 Joe Orton 2013-06-03 15:39:44 UTC 
Thanks Lukas.  Yes, done.
