The +zdbbl parameter helped a lot but the hinted handoffs didn't disappear completely. I have no more busy dist port errors in the _console.log_ (why aren't they in the error.log? it looks for me like a serious problem you have.. at least our cluster was behaving not that nice).
I'll try to increase the buffer size to a higher value because my suggestion is that also the objects send from one to another are also stored therein and we have sometimes objects which are up to 15MB. But I saw now also some crashes in the last 6 hours on only two machines complaining about too many processes ---------------- console.log 2013-07-19 02:04:21.962 UTC [error] <0.12813.29> CRASH REPORT Process <0.12813.29> with 15 neighbours exited with reason: {system_limit crash.log 2013-07-19 02:04:21 UTC =ERROR REPORT==== Too many processes ---------------- the process has a process limit of 95142. So I will increase it now but I never saw any information about such problems on the linux tuning page. Am I missing something?
