Xrootd seg fault on FSTs under moderate/high load

Hiya,

I don’t know if anyone else has seen this issue but in the last couple of days, after adding more storage and as a consequence, getting significantly higher throughput from ALICE, my FSTs are seg faulting every 2-3 hours with:

Aug 19 17:30:05 epgsr6 kernel: xrootd[14136]: segfault at 0 ip 00000037b0a8987b sp 00007fc0943e0918 error 6 in libc-2.12.so[37b0a00000+18b000]

I’m not certain, but neither memory or processor seems to be stretched when it fails and I think I have nofile set correctly:

#

  •         hard  nofile          65500
    
  •         soft  nofile          65500
    

Am I missing something obvious? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Many Thanks,
