> Key: CLOUDSTACK-105
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-105
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: XenServer
> Affects Versions: pre-4.0.0
> Environment: Xenserver 6.0.2
> Cloudstack 3.0.2
> Reporter: Caleb Call
>
> We came across an interesting issue in one of our clusters. We ran out of
> inodes on all of our cluster members (since when does this happen in 2012?).
> When this happened, it in turn made the / filesystem a read-only filesystem
> which in turn made all the hosts go in to emergency maintenance mode and as a
> result get marked down by Cloudstack. We found that it was caused by
> hundreds of thousands of stale socket files in /tmp named
> "stream-unix.####.######". To resolve the issue, we had to delete those
> stale socket files (find /tmp -name "*stream*" -mtime +7 -exec rm -v {} \;),
> then kill and restart xapi, then correct the emergency maintenance mode.
> These hosts had only been up for 45 days before this issue occurred.
> In our scouring of the interwebs, the only other instance we've been able to
> find of this (or similar) happening is in the same setup we are currently
> running. Xenserver 6.0.2 with CS 3.0.2. Do these stream-unix sockets have
> anything to do with Cloudstack? I would think if this was a Xenserver issue
> (bug), there would be a lot more on the internet about this happening. For a
> temporary workaround, we've added a cronjob to cleanup these files but we'd
> really like to address the actual issue that's causing these sockets to
> become stale and not get cleaned-up.
