Can I set a memory limit on a daemon running under smf on Joyent SmartOS? I have a logging process that seems to balloon after cpu time gets above 100. I only have small instances (512Mb), it would be great for it to restart the daemon when memory reaches a certain level? Answer One approach … Read more
We have three physical machines with SmartOS on them in a LAN. Two of them, 10.40.0.30 and 10.40.0.240 are hypervisors with two pfSense-based virtualized gateways on them. These gateways have 10.40.0.1 and 10.40.0.2 addresses, respectively. There is a 10.40.0.3 virtual IP shared between the gateways. Third SmartOS machine, 10.40.0.221, is a storage host. The following … Read more
Background I have a set of embedded hardware deployed in the field. These remote machines connect back to my servers at AWS running Ubuntu and I use the iptables mangle chain to lower the MTU to 500 so these devices are happy. For reference, this is the iptables rule I am using: -A POSTROUTING -p … Read more
I set up a node blueimp jquery file upload server on a Joyent cloud SmartOS SmartMachine (nodejs 13.1.0) instance. It works fine if I manually start it using the command ./node_modules/blueimp-file-upload-node/server.js. However, if start it using SMF, the server is able to reply to GET and delivering the pics, but cannot accept POST and breaks. … Read more
I have a SmartOS (an OS based on OpenSolaris) server running a few virtual machines. One of the ZFS volumes is shared as an NFS volume and mounted on one of the VMs which is running Debian wheezy. The mount works fine through NFS v4. When I set quotas through the zfs userquota@user property, I … Read more
I currently run an app within Tomcat but want to deploy Play Framework on the same servers as well. For licensing reasons, this is cost efficient, but being able to use excess CPU usage on a beefier instance should be beneficial as well. If I’m running Tomcat and Play on the same (Joyent / SmartOS) … Read more
I have a ZFS Volume on my server I’m using as my network’s NAS (called data/nas & part of the ‘data’ raidz zpool) and I am exposing this volume to my LAN via NFS using the ZFS attribute setting: sharenfs. This works great and has been extremely simple to manage. I recently got an 8TB … Read more
A daemon process of mine gets killed almost immediately, as soon as it starts receiving requests. The application log has absolutely no error output, even when I try to run it in foreground. I have a suspicion that the OS might be killing it for OOM, because this VM instance has only 512 MB allocated. … Read more
I downloaded joyent’s smartOS vmware image and got that running. Now I would like to increase the size of /opt because they were pretty stingy with it in the vm. In the vm’s settings, I expanded the disk to 35Gb. But I don’t know how to grow the zfs volume from inside smartos. If this … Read more
