Hi guys,

This fast growing image problem could be cause because of Dos attack, So Sean, go looking there if there you'll see some enormous amount of requests from our site and specially, are they coming from there same IP. Knowing that IP we can narrower the culpit closer.

Past two image crashes were caused by image not snapshoting every hour. We switched snapshoting off a time ago and forgot to switch on, ok, now it is on again.

Best regards Janko

Technically I could give you access but that image is owned and created by the webteam and is their responsibility. As such I suggest you contact them and volunteer your assistance within that context.

This may seem a little silly, but a lack of communication has been a problem around here in the past.

Drives me a little nuts that we don't know what's causing that. I'd like to get a copy of the image we're using and spend some time with it. Is this something I currently have access to? Not at my machine now, but I think I'm an updates user.

Well it continued to grow quickly so I did indeed kill it. I have restarted it under vnc at port :1. It appears the image was being saved regularly and the site is back up and fine as far as I'm aware.

I happen to be awake and online during this event, still on-going: appearance of the process in top:

as you can see it is pegging the CPU and using a lot of memory (in no more than a minute it has gone from about 700MB to over 750MB). I'll watch it for a few minutes but I am almost certainly going to have to kill it and restart. I hope you have been saving....
