For info on 6u14's new "Garbage First" GC and potential usefulness
for use
with java web apps, see:

http://n2.nabble.com/forum/PrintPost.jtp?post=2344358 (cancel the
print
dialog: this gives you the complete message w/o extra crap).
Unfortunately, when running with
VM Arguments:
jvm_args: -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseG1GC -Xms256m -
Xmx768m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=768m -
Djava.awt.headless=true …
java_command: org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
You get a SIGSEGV (which obviates the whole point of garbage-
collection):
A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x0000000000e9c621, pid=13441, tid=114968912
JRE version: 6.0_14-b01
Java VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (14.0-b10 mixed mode linux-amd64 )
Problematic frame:
V [libjvm.so+0x296621]
The SIGSEGV happens because of new Garbage Collector, as invoked by
"-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseG1GC". It dies after
running for
less than an hour:
Current thread (0x000000004149f000): ConcurrentGCThread [stack:
0x0000000000000000,0x0000000000000000] [id=13448]
siginfo:si_signo=SIGSEGV: si_errno=0, si_code=1 (SEGV_MAPERR),
si_addr=0x0000001600000050
…
elapsed time: 2916 seconds
This issue doesn't occur with the default GC invoked with
jvm_args: -Xms256m -Xmx768m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=768m -
Djava.awt.headless=true"
I guess that's why this is an "Early Access" release.
--------------------------
also from my previous message re:
PS: and will a different GC prevent sequences
like this from
happening??
see
http://nielsmayer.com/happy-happy-joy-joy.txt
This is solved by adding
-XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=768m
although these values are probably far larger than necessary. This
might be
an issue that tomcat affects tomcat users in particular:
