Hi,

I'm getting quite a few of the following errors in my messages logs;

Jul 10 15:36:23 server kernel: qmail-local.mov[30798]: segfault at 00000000bffffd94 rip 00000000004088f7 rsp 0000007fbffff7b8 error 4


I didn't initially believe this to be a problem until one of my hosting clients reported a failed send mail notification reporting the following error;

Aack, child crashed. (#4.3.0)


The server is a Plesk 8.1.1 on CentOS v4.4 (64bit).
psa-qmail-1.03-cos4.build81070322.16


Unfortunately I'm a somewhat new to qmail / linux, and wasn't able to find anything doing a google search, so I'm hoping there might be some gurus out there that could point me in the right direction on how I can work out what's causing this and how (potentially) I can fix this...


Thanks in advance!

Did you ever find out anything about this? I get these every once in a while too and have also gotten the Aack, child crashed. I am on CentOS 5 64-bit, Plesk 8.2.

try setting "noacpi" in your kernel boot line.

example from grub.conf:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.4-65.fc7 ro root=/dev/WinonaGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet selinux=0 noacpi

Thanks Scott, I will try that.

Well, I still get these sometimes. I have now installed your asl testing kernel (2.6.22.9-2.art) and am still getting this. I just had one happen that I could get more information about so here goes. The recipients mailbox filled up during the delivery I think. A user sent 3 emails with pictures in them and the first one came back with aack crash, then the next two came back with recipients mailbox full. I have also found out recently that hard disk quotas are not supported right now on my server. My /etc/fstab has this line

/dev/md0 / ext3 defaults 1 1

when I think it should have this line

/dev/md0 / ext3 defaults,usrquota 1 1

Could that cause this to happen and is it ok to go ahead and edit that line and reboot?

Maybe its the size of the message causing that? Or did you rule that out already

Yep its ok to turn quotas on like that.

I don't think it is the size. These were only 2mb each and I know other messages much bigger go through fine. I only get these every once in a while (like 1 a week). Do you think quotas could have anything to do with this? I am going to enable quotas tonight, so I guess I will find out soon enough.

no I dont think so. Size or maybe encoding would be the first things I'd look into.
