jje Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Yes we are aware of the issues and are working to fix them. Merging topic. Merging topic. This support request is being escalated to our root admin. djbob has been contacted/notified.
Guest xaav Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 I'm assuming this is why stevie is currently down.
Ashoat Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Probably related, but it's also possibly the PgSQL issue. I was unable to SSH in, so I requested a reboot. Currently running a fsck. UPDATE: fsck finished; I'm in. Since we can still get in I'm guessing it was PgSQL and not /var.
rezabagh Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Hello when i want to send email i faces to this error , what should i do ? There was an error sending your message: Failed to set sender: sales@vpngroups.us [sMTP: Failed to write to socket: not connected (code: -1, response: )] user : baghban server : stevie domain : vpngroups.us
Ashoat Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 This is due to /var being filled up. Mail queues are stored in /var/spool/exim and mailboxes are in /var/spool/mail.
Guest xaav Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 I can't imagine how it was PgSQL, since I was unable to restart PgSQL after I had stopped it to make changes to postgresql.conf.
Ashoat Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 No I mean the one guy who keeps using way too much of PgSQL. The process probably spiked server load to the point that the system started thrashing.
Guest xaav Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 I'm saying I had stopped PgSQL to make some changes to the conf, but then couldn't restart it because /var was full. Someone else probably restarted it, because stevie's load appears to be low without PgSQL.
Ashoat Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 /var/lib/pgsql is only around 1.5 GiB... does it deserve its own partition?
Guest xaav Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 /var/lib/pgsql is only around 1.5 GiB... does it deserve its own partition? It only grew that much before it filled up /var. If it hadn't filled up, it might have grown much more...
Krydos Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 In case anyone was following this thread regarding their ability to receive and send email through their account on stevie, someone cleared up a small (300mb) of space on /var so emails can be sent and received at this time, but if this free space gets to 0 again mail will stop functioning again. A more permanent solution can be monitored in this news thread: http://www.helionet.org/index/index.php?showtopic=10674
Krydos Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Yup, 8.1 gigabytes of free space on /var now should keep everything running smoothly. Closing.
Ashoat Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Ermm... there is only 9.7 GiB in total on /var. I'm seeing 1.9 GiB free, which should be enough
Krydos Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Oops, you're right. I was looking at the wrong numbers. Either way it's more than 0, and that's what counts.
