<pre wrap="">Hi Jon,
It might be helpful to set -XX:PrintFLSStatistics to a value greater than
zero, to get the stats of FreeListSpace so that you'd know the size of the
biggest fragment. The GC log produced by -XX:+PrintGCDetails doesn't give
enough information on fragmentation.
Here's an example of using -XX:PrintFLSStatistics=1:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gist.github.com/1329783">https://gist.github.com/1329783</a>
It does make the GC log messier, and some of the GC log parsing tools won't
cope with this, but you get to know how bad the fragmentation is.

It also may affect your performance depending on the value of
PrintFLSStatistics so look out<br>
for that.<br>

Anyway, it looks like you're using CMS in incremental mode. This mode
should be obsolete in JDK6 already. Is there a good reason for you to be
using it? If not, I'd suggest turning it off, though, no matter if you're
upgrading your JDK or not.

<pre wrap="">Hi,
We have an application running with a 6GB heap (complete parameters
below). Mostly it has a fairly low turnover of memory use, but on
occasion, it will come under some pressure as it reloads a large in-memory
data set from a database.
Sometimes in this situation, we'll see a concurrent mode failure. Here's
one failure:
20021.464: [GC 20021.465: [ParNew: 13093K->3939K(76672K), 0.0569240
secs]20021.522: [CMS20023.747: [CMS-concurrent-mark: 11.403/29.029 secs]
[Times: user=41.11 sys=1.03, real=29.03 secs]
(concurrent mode failure): 3873922K->2801744K(6206272K), 30.7900180 secs]
3886215K->2801744K(6282944K), [CMS Perm : 142884K->142834K(524288K)]
icms_dc=33 , 30.8473830 secs] [Times: user=30.26 sys=0.71, real=30.85 secs]
Total time for which application threads were stopped: 30.8484460 seconds
(I've attached a lengthier log including the previous and subsequent CMS
collection.)
Am I correct in thinking that this failure can basically only be caused by
fragmentation? Both young and old seem to have plenty of space. There
doesn't seem to be any sign that the tenured generation would run out of
space before CMS completes. Fragmentation is the only remaining cause that
occurs to me.
We're running with 1.6.0_11, although this will be upgraded to 1.6.0_26
tomorrow. I realise our current version is ancient - I'm not really
looking for help on the problem itself, just for advice on whether the log
line above indicates fragmentation.
Thanks
Jon Bright
