VixDiskLib_Open cause crash process running on ESX...

MinhLy1 · ‎02-26-2021

Hello,

I'm struggling with the issue.

I write a sample app by C language. I deploy the app on ESXi and run is via ssh. The app crashes with "Segmentation fault" error as calling to VixDiskLib_Open.

Using ulimit -a on ESXi console the output is:

[root@localhost:~] ulimit -a
-f: file size (blocks) unlimited
-t: cpu time (seconds) unlimited
-d: data seg size (kb) unlimited
-s: stack size (kb) 512
-c: core file size (blocks) 0
-m: resident set size (kb) unlimited
-l: locked memory (kb) unlimited
-p: processes 4096
-n: file descriptors 256
-v: address space (kb) unlimited
-w: locks unlimited
-e: scheduling priority unlimited
-r: real-time priority unlimited

Please help me on this issue! Thank you!
