Re: guam - high number of crashes

Hi,

Recently I wrote about my troubles with guam. I think that the core of 
my problem is a slow storage while some users are migrating their mails 
to my server.

top shows very high percent (54.5 and more) waiting for a storage operations

%Cpu(s):  6,3 us,  2,7 sy,  0,0 ni, 36,5 id, 54,5 wa,  0,0 hi, 0,1 si,  
0,0 s


Also I supose there is a bug in guam or in erlang . top shows that 
beam.smp consumes more and more virtual memory.

   PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
26108 root      20   0   13,0g   6,1g    908 S  21,1 79,7  23:57.30 beam.smp

When the virtual memory runs out the kernel kills guam and systemd 
starts it again. dmesg shows

Out of memory: Kill process 9123 (beam.smp) score 791 or sacrifice child
Killed process 9123 (beam.smp), UID 0, total-vm:21696728kB, 
anon-rss:5484380kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB

I forced myself to discard syncroton log messages by

ln -s /dev/null /var/log/kolab-syncroton/console.log

and imapd log messages too

Regards!
Valentin
