David Lloyd created WFLY-3202: --------------------------------- Summary: Research behavior of fork with ProcessBuilder on modern JVMs Key: WFLY-3202 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3202 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Reporter: David Lloyd Right now our Process Controller exists for two primary reasons: # fork() misbehaves for large processes on some OSes, causing leaks or crashes # if the HC crashes, the PC can respawn it We have never (afaik) seen #2 happen. We need to verify whether #1 is still true on modern JVMs on the following operating systems: * Linux * Solaris * IBM OSes * Windows * BSDs * Mac OS X Test by creating processes with large heap and lots of concurrent file descriptor activity while forking to see what happens. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
