We have a Netware 6.5 SP3 server with NW65OS3A and N65NSS3A applied

We have needed to restart the server twice this week because of memory
issues. Message on console is "Server logical address space is running
low"

I was able to get into NRM yesterday before we rebooted and APRLIB.NLM
showed 1,457,821,488 bytes.

I've monitored it today and on the APRLIB.NLM Allocation Sizes screen
there is an 8220 byte allocation listed that the "in use" count continues
to rise. At present it's at 573. Last night it was 341. This server is
primarly used for NetStorage (storage accessed is on other servers) and
iManager. Looking at the Apache logs NetStorage use seems to correlate to
the increase in memory use by APRLIB.

There's a NetStorage update available, but it does not replace APRLIB or
any of the NLMs that NRM says are currently using APRLIB.

Any thoughts?

Have you tried the latest Apache NLMs from www.apache.org?

Thanks Anders

We had apache2 v. 2.0.52 and aprlib v 0.9.5

I upgraded to the latest apache2.nlm 2.0.54 and aprlib v 0.9.6 (those
only) I left the modules untouched.

I'll monitor it next week. Worst case is that we have to cron a
restart on Apache every night.

I'll repost results later this week. It usually takes 5 or 6 days to
really get out of hand.

OK: FWIW I run the latest version of Apache on SP3 with no issues
whatsoever.
