How do I monitor Potential VM growth in DirectoryService ??
greetings
i have a 10.4.10 Mail server ( postfix/cyrus/squirellmail ) connected to a directory system.
occasionally the system reports
<code>Potential VM growth in DirectoryService since client PID: 0, has 1150 open references when the warning limit is 500.</code>
if i don't kick start mail services ( serveradmin stop/start mail ) the open references will climb and cause the system to die.
where is this number coming from and how can I put a tail on it ie " monitor the open references if it reaches *threshhold restart "
I know this doesn't solve the issue. It has gotten better with load balancing and more replicas. I have plans to migrate this server to a new machine with clean install. But in the mean time I need to keep it up.
any insight would be helpful.
thanks
Did you ever figure out how to fix this VM growth?

Server crash caused by "Potential VM growth in DirectoryService"
Our mail server experienced a crash yesterday. The system log reports "Potential VM growth in DirectoryService...". The Intel Xserve is fully patched to 10.5.5 and no updates are available. This is the first time we have experienced this problem.
From what I have read in past discussions, I thought Mac OSX Server 10.5.5 was supposed to correct this issue from occurring.
The specific error from the system log is:
Dec 9 15:53:17 mail DirectoryService[26]: Potential VM growth in DirectoryService since client PID: 0, has 850 open references when the warning limit is 500.
Here is the hardware overview from system_profiler:
Model Name: Xserve
Model Identifier: Xserve2,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 8

Memory: 6 GB
Bus Speed: 1.6 GHz
Boot ROM Version: XS21.006C.B06
SMC Version: 1.26f3
LOM Revision: 1.1.0

Here is the Software Overview from system_profiler:
System Version: Mac OS X Server 10.5.5 (9F33)
Kernel Version: Darwin 9.5.0
Boot Volume: Hermes Server HD
Boot Mode: Normal
Computer Name: xxxxxxxxx
User Name: xxxxxxxxx
Time since boot: 14:53Currently it seems that the "only" problem is that there's too many users - even though the number is alarming low (eg 1-200). My thought is a faulty design of OS X Server (someone PLEASE correct me and prove me wrong!)

10.5.5 Does Not Fix "Potential VM growth in DirectoryService" Error
Bummer. It was mentioned in the docs that this bug was fixed in regards to Wiki's and Collaboration, but the errors below are a result of Tiger's Mail.app and a user with lots of folders. Mail.app makes connections for each folder to synch with the local mail store, and there is no way to mitigate the client behavior. I upgraded on Sept 17 @ 7:00AM, FYI. I guess I'll update my bug report...

What causes - "potential VM growth...." system.log error?
I've been seeing the following error in my system.log
DirectoryService[14]: Potential VM growth in DirectoryService since client PID: 2312, has 975 open references when the warning limit is 500.
is there anyway to identify what is causing this.... is it a real problem?
thanks!I found out how to identify the PID (process identifier) ..... this is all new to me
Type "top -l 1" in Terminal and look for the PID #.
-l (that is a lowercase L)
I need to wait until it happens again to locate the PID, but I still don't know out the "potential VM growth" issue.
thx -
Potential VM growth Err,Cyrus, and Crashing Servers...
On my Leopard Server (10.5.3), when an IMAP client makes lots of connections in a short period of time ( 35+ in one minute ), I will get the following errors in my system.log:
Potential VM growth in DirectoryService since client PID: 0, has 550 open references when the warning limit is 500.
If the DirectoryService and ServerManager processes are not restarted, this will spiral out of control, and Open Directory, then my server will crash. There is a little script that tails and grep's the system.log looking for these errors, and restarts both of these services (plugleak.pl):
See
http://davidleber.net/?p=216
It does work and keeps my server from crashing due to this Open Directory bug (which has been around since Tiger).
Why do clients try to make this many connections? One user had a PC with a weak intermittent wireless connection, and I guess his Outlook client kept making connections when the wireless connection fluctuated. This actually happened when the user was out of the office, but left his laptop running with Outlook open. For some reason, his laptop would switch over to the wireless connection while connected to our LAN, so we disabled his wireless (never takes the laptop home anyway), and this seemed to fix the problem. Unfortunately I did not put the plugleak.pl in a cronjob at this time, and my server eventually crashed, requiring a hard reboot (over a weekend).
Yesterday, I was migrating a user from our POP server, and uploading her local PC mail folders when this happened again, twice. She has hundereds of folders, and when Apple Mail creates a new folder and uploads the files, it creates a new IMAP connection for each folder. The "Potential VM" error messages started popping up and plugleak.pl did it' s job, saving the day.
Is there any way to configure Cyrus to limit the number of connections a client can make? Is this something that would be good to do? I noticed the following in the /etc/cyrus.conf:
LIMITS {
imaplimit value=0
I can't seem to find any documentation on what this value does. Does this limit the connections per user, or total connections? It seems that IMAP is very connection intensive.
Regards,
Flatrack
Oops, should be in the Leopard Server Mail forum.

Not sure what the Background Bug thing is, but it can't be good. Sunday morning I get a text message telling me that the IMAP server is not responsive (something I set up on a Linux box to let me know when this sort of thing occurs. Good thing I did, and it works great). So I SSH in, and 'shutdown now'.

System restarts, but my Open Directory DB is weird. Two users are missing, and I cant see the mail accounts in Server Manager. At this point, I boot from a backup disk and rebuild my system disk from the backup with Carbon Copy Cloner.
Two weeks later, I'm in the process of uploading a migrated users email in AppleMail. She has hundreds of folders, and the IMAP client (AppleMail) seems to make a connection for each folder it uploads. It looks like it's making 1-2 connections per second, this is only a small exerpt.

VM growth in DirectoryService Warning
I'm seeing the following on my Mail Server.
===========================
Apr 6 12:00:09 mailhost DirectoryService[41]: Potential VM growth in DirectoryService since client PID: 0, has 525 open references when the warning limit is 500.
===========================
Does anyone know what is this warning and how to resolve it.
ThanksCurrently it seems that the "only" problem is that there's too many users - even though the number is alarming low (eg 1-200). My thought is a faulty design of OS X Server (someone PLEASE correct me and prove me wrong!)

Digital audio input via mini jack/toslink from ADA converter, monitored via USB audio output to amplifier... is this do-able? I know digital audio input should be okay but how do I monitor it, apart from using the internal speakers?
You can output audio thru HDMI, with appropriate adapter.
You can use additional cheap external usb audio for monitoring. -
How do I monitor audio while importing?
While importing from my cable TV, I Can see the incoming video but caan't hear the audio. I would be helpful if I could here the audio so I could go about my work and keep an ear on the feed. Then I would know when the feed is over without having to Constantly watch it. I suppose I could size the monitor windo real small and put it in the corner of my screen then rearrange all working windows arround it. But that's a pain...
How do I monitor audio while importing?

Can anybody help?
I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money?
Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound?
Will I need adaptors and an interface?
Also, I am guessing as Logic only runs on MAC surely then they would not the best spec to recommend to run it?
I see all the upgrades as additional memory or a faster process?
Is a retina screen necessary, and why flash based storage against a 1TB hard drive, and a i5 instead of an i7
The main reason for this purchase is to play live and use backing tracks and record found sounds and make creative songs.
I hope you can provide some valuable feedback, as I am a longtime MAC user and see upgrades and changes happen regularly but the most important thing is the songs not the equipment.
I have £500 already and willing to add another 500 to 700 pounds, then software extra.Can anybody help?

How connect External monitor to iMac?
How connect External monitor to iMac?
How to do that depends on the iMac variant you have. iMacs have been in continuous production since 1998 in four broad families that are not 100 percent alike in behavior.
Please look at the iMac images and descriptions in the links on this site:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/index-imac.html
and tell us what variant you believe you have.
iMacs from the first through third-generations (G3, G4, and G5 processors) that support an external monitor were not set up to do anything other than "mirroring"--you see on the external exactly what is on the built-in display.
Your description sounds like you have a newer iMac than this forum covers because, starting with the Intel iMacs in 2006, external monitors were allowed to do both mirroring and "extended desktop." The latter is what I believe you are seeing.
Try this first: press the F7 key. On many Macs capable fo using external monitors, this was a shortcut to toggle between mirrored and extended display. If your keyboard has an "fn" modifier key, you may need to press that to get the F7 key to work.
If you have an intel-powered iMac I can ask the Hosts to move you to that forum, which is much more active than this one which is for pre-2006 iMacs.
