Hi,
I am using Magento 1.8.0.0. Everything was working ok until recently.
Suddenly the session_start() function started hanging (I found this from slow log.)
It happens atleast once in every week. When it happens, I have to restart php-fpm and mariadb server and reindex everything.
Then everything will be fine for around one week.
Once the session_start() starts hanging, all the call to API will hang and finally php-fpm stops responding.
The sessions are stored in the folder /var/www/catalog/var/sessions/ . There is no space or permission problem in this directory.
I found 575024 files in that directory, is that a problem? Can I clear everything in this directory? Is the session file supposed to get deleted when the http request ends?
I recently moved the database from mysql to mariadb, and after that only the problem started appearing. Is there any configuration I need to check in mariadb?
backtrace from slow log shows where the code hangs, it is below.
