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

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.

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.

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?

 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,

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.

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

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

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

hobbit,
and I previously had to install gcc for compiling some

all

The server has 2 GB of RAM but is running several other services.

Any other ideas?
