Hi!
I've just got new information. One of our servers doesn't have that zombie
issue. But it wasn't updated for about 6 months because it previous admin
retired. Now I begin updating it. At first I updated simple tools and
libraries, which shouldn't broke anything, and now I'm working on updating
more critical things like toolchain, LAMP and few system tools like PAM
and udev. Current uptime is 128 days. And know what? I have just noticed a
lot of zombies there! Usual trick 'chmod 0 /etc/runit/stopit; kill -CONT 1'
did the work, but...
I have neither updated runit (or other critical packages like
toolchain) nor reboot system - this issue with zombies has arisen
after update of some simple utils and libraries!!!!!
WTF??? How this can be possible?!
If runit doesn't reload dynamic libraries on the fly or execute
external utils (which I believe is not the case), then how update of
some libraries and tools may result in runit failure to gather zombies?
Only possible "explanation" which come in my mind is some CPU/RAM usage
pattern which is happens while compiling all these packages somehow affect
runit-init. And this isn't just "high load", because this server most of
time under high enough load, in all ways (CPU+RAM+HDD).
Below is list of updated packages, I can provide also versions "from" is
was updated, if somebody will need it.
