[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmq-server crashes

[Rob Harrop]

David,

Did you get an Erlang crash dump when this happened?

I'm surprised that you are able to have the queue grow to the point of 
crashing - we throttle producers when RAM is short and we page messages 
out to disk.

Are you using manual ack or producer confirms for your messages?

Regards,

Rob
