since couple days we got some probs with dying leafs. IRCD just terminate themself. Till now we didn'T find anything real realted to it. We find core dump only after crash ( file size by 60mb ) but nothing in which could give us a hint where it might be came from. Since couple days we got a kinda competition on our net by 2-3 ppl playing with floodbots, so only thing we got is a high activity by opsb, defender and our open proxy monitoring spricts and temp higher gline list. this morning two leafs died at the same time. bot activity had been 10 minutes before the died. gline list was 35 entries only, so nothing real high ( we do have soemtimes up to 300 glines for several hours ).
ircd.log will show only entries from other days. this brings me two my second point.
Code: Select all
15[Fri Jun 10 19:22:45 2005] - TROUBLE: buffer allocation error! Increase BUFFERPOOL!
- it is only possible to change this during compiling or it is possible to change it with config settings for sendq ?
- where can this 'trouble' happen on. for server sendq only, or overall sendq's ?
- can the ircd die cause of this prob, if its not able to handle this trouble anymore ?
- is the fault msg created cause of less pool or total maxsendq (16x3000000) ? cause 'increase BUFFERPOOL' i understand the pool needs to be increased ( >16)
