Environment
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2015 (OES 2015) Linux Support Pack 1
Situation
Error: "[exception RIP: cachePrepareToFlush+388]"
Resolution
It might be related to the new Delayed Allocation Functionality in OES2015 SP1. Try disabling Delayed Allocation with these commands:
- nsscon
- nss /nodelayedalloc
- exit
Fixed with the September 2016 Maintenance Update in nss-kmp-default-4.21.0_3.0.101_63-0.66.3
