LO55864: DOMINO SERVER PROCESS TERMINATES WITH SIGXFSZ (SIGNAL 25: FILE S IZE EXCEEDED)

APAR status

• Closed as returned (APAR cannot be resolved without additional info from IBM or customer.)

Error description

• Customer was running Domino 851 on Linux with DB2 enabled.
  Customer starts the
  Domino server and 2 hours later the server process exits however
  the server
  does not crash, it continues to run.
  
  After running a 'strace' against the server process we were able
  to see that
  the server process was exiting with a signal 25: SIGXFSZ (file
  size exceeded).
  The 'ulimit -a' command showed that the OS 'fsize' limit was set
  to 'unlimited'
  and the filesystem type (ext3) has a max size around 16+GB. And
  there was no
  file in the Domino data directory, /home/notes/data, over
  300MB.
  
  In looking at the 'strace' output it showed that the server is
  trying to create
  several p**t-***.cli files in the DB2DIRECTORY,
  /home/notesdb2/trace, but it
  never gets created. It just keeps coming back unfinished (below)
  then there is
  a loop then finally the failure.

  In this directory, /home/notesdb2/trace, there were about 1,780
  files of
  various sizes that add up to over 200+GB and the largest file
  was db2trc.dmp
  file that was over 110GB. Customer removed this file along with
  some of the
  other files and restarted the server, so far it is
  running.
