<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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 listed on </FONT><A HREF="http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/known-issues.html"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/known-issues.html</FONT></U></A><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> that relate to FreeBSD, but none of the sysctl keys listed are in this version of Linux:</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Also, I noticed that the hobbitd.pid file did not get deleted when hobbitd terminated. It seems like it should have been.</FONT></P>
