No, I didn't make any changes - it's just apache and, particularly, otrs
that are using a lot of shared memory segments (mostly of 1 byte each).

It is quite likely that the RPM is just fine, but it isn't a 100% sure
thing...
Sebastian - did you make any changes to those kinds of things after
installing CentOS5? I've installed Hobbit on half a dozen machines loaded
with CentOS5 and I've never seen this issue or had to change any such
option.

of Linux, etc..

So, for the record, there is nothing wrong with the RPM?

I looked at that already and it seemed high. Mine is also:
kernel.shmmax = 4294967295
I found the problem though:
max number of segments = 4096
segments allocated 4096
Fixed with:
sysctl -w kernel.shmmni=8192
kernel.shmmni = 8192
Thanks for making me look at ipcs again though.

FTR my Hobbit server:

kernel.shmmax = 4294967295

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,

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.

It includes the All-in-one patch. So I configured the cfg files and
started
hobbit, but I get this in hobbitlaunch.log:

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>; >
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 (
user-cbb31f498875@xymon.invalid )
(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
