[hobbit] Status Unavailable

[Vernon Everett]

Hi Henrik

Thanks for helping on this.
I rebooted this morning. Could the memory leak still effect me in that
short time?

No "failed allocation" in dmesg output.
Do you want the full output?

All these commands returned to command prompt with the following error

OK - something similar did happen on my own system a few days ago, but
it was so bizarre I wonder if it could happen on two boxes in the same
week :-) The Linux kernel was leaking memory, so eventually it ran out
of network bufferspace and Hobbit couldn't send responses anywhere.

Could you try running "dmesg" and see if there are any "failed
allocation" messages at the bottom ? This should really only list the
messages you see during boot-up and any hardware detection that has
happened.

Also, send me a "vmstat 4 20" output from the box.

If you run 

   ~hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard"

does that hang ? What if you do

   ~hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard
host=YOUR.HOBBIT.HOSTNAME"


Regards,
Henrik
