sysctl: setting key "vm.max_map_count": Read-only file system #99

bezrukovp · 2016-12-21T17:25:21Z

Hi, I have the same problem:

It arises here /elasticsearch-init:137

On my server Docker install in LXC container, perhaps this is the reason the error.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

spujadas · 2016-12-21T18:38:30Z

Usually the init script can't set the key (because the container can't write to a read-only file system), but that doesn't prevent Elasticsearch from starting if the host's vm.max_map_count is high enough.
Before I start tweaking the init script, could you confirm that the host's vm.max_map_count is equal to at least 262144, and that this is also visible from the container (by docker exec or docker run-ing into the container)?
As I may need to reproduce the issue, could you tell me what version of Linux you're using, instructions that you used to install Docker (if different from the official ones) etc.

bezrukovp · 2016-12-21T20:29:40Z

Oh sure.

root@0b2876b5544a:/opt/logstash# sysctl vm.max_map_count
vm.max_map_count = 262144

spujadas · 2016-12-23T09:35:10Z

Can't reproduce over here, so I'm going to attempt something based on your experience. Essentially I want to change this bit:

    if [ -n "$MAX_MAP_COUNT" -a -f /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count ]; then
        sysctl -q -w vm.max_map_count=$MAX_MAP_COUNT
    fi

to check if vm.max_map_count is already equal to $MAX_MAP_COUNT before it tries to use sysctl: in your case, as vm.max_map_count is already properly set, the test will pass and the init script will continue running.

Before I do that I need to make sure that the script will play nicely with your set-up once this test is in place, so could I ask you to edit the elasticsearch-init file (if rebuilding the image) or /etc/init.d/elasticsearch (if using the existing one), and to comment out or remove lines 136-138, then start the container, and let me know if Elasticsearch starts (and if not what goes wrong)?

I have the same problem.

spujadas · 2017-01-03T20:49:28Z

@mrazvan92 Could you try the procedure outlined in #99 (comment) and let me know how it goes?

@mrazvan92 You might not be having the same problem as @bezrukovp:

elk_1 | max virtual memory areas vm.max_map_count [65530] is too low, increase to at least [262144]

You may actually be running into (resolved) issue #92.

my issue is how to increase the size of the memory...
i read the solution but am just confused about to do it...
need help..
thanks.

spujadas · 2017-01-05T20:49:31Z

@thomasdola See the linked comment (#92 (comment)) in my previous reply. For more on this see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.0/vm-max-map-count.html#vm-max-map-count (and feel free to ask for advice on the Elastic forums as this issue is non-Docker-specific).

thomasdola · 2017-01-05T20:58:31Z

thanks

spujadas · 2017-01-19T18:52:24Z

Fixed by PR #106: if your vm.max_map_count is large enough, then it won't attempt to set it (which would result in an error on some hosts).
Closing, feel free to reopen if you still have the issue.

I'm seeing this problem as well on the latest images, it's unable to start ElasticSearch after a read-only filesystem error when trying to set vm.max_map_count:

@dmsimard The actual error is:

[2017-02-16T21:49:07,437][ERROR][o.e.b.Bootstrap ] [TW7cpw8] node validation exception
bootstrap checks failed
max virtual memory areas vm.max_map_count [65530] is too low, increase to at least [262144]

See #92 (comment) for more on how to fix this.

dmsimard · 2017-02-17T13:38:02Z

@spujadas oh, I had read that but didn't realize it was on the host running the container that I had to try and run it. That fixed it for me, thanks.

spujadas · 2017-02-17T13:44:02Z

@dmsimard Oh OK, I'll emphasise that in the docs to make it clearer! Cheers.

pyrohaz4good · 2018-01-03T20:48:50Z

Just in case anyone finds this thread and is looking for how to set this variable on the host and you're running Docker on macOS, do this from terminal:

docker-machine ssh
sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144
exit

Guys use this command sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144 in the host system not in the container. This will fix the issue. Hope this solves the problem

docker-machine ssh

If you are on Mac using colima instead of Docker Desktop, you can do this

colima ssh -- sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144
