Gilbert, > Over at AllisonHouse, our LDM crashed today on our satellite ingester for > NOAAport. After doing some investigation, I found several things: > > 1. The ldmd.log file was over 300 mb in size. You should have a crontab(1) job that shifts and purges the log files. See <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/newlog.html>. > 2. /var/spool/messages was getting everything duplicated that is in ldmd.log. > This hasn't happened before. And the file size was 350 MB. I suspect that SELINUX is set to "permissive" rather than "disabled". Check "/etc/selinux/config". > 3. We found that are crying tab service had died. It won't restart. We're > trying to fix that now. I don't recall what a "crying tab service" is. > 4. We rotated out the large files, thinking that was part, or all, of the > problem. > > 5. We found this error: > > noaaportIngeste[6832]: segfault at 10 ip 00007f33e83cd259 sp 00007f33c849e240 > error 4 in libldm.so.0.0.0[7f33e83af000+89000] in ‘dmesg’ I'll look into this. > Just thought you'd want to know… Indeed!
