Trying to run elasticsearch on a Hetzner server running 12.04 and failing.  
Using the 0.19.8 tar and running bin/elasticsearch -f outputs the  
following and doesn't get any further:

[2012-07-04 16:19:55,080][INFO][node] [Man-Killer]  
{0.19.8}[4867]: initializing ...  
[2012-07-04 16:19:55,084][INFO][plugins] [Man-Killer]  
loaded [], sites []

Any advice on debugging would be welcome. I've tried both openjdk 6 and 7  
as well as Oracles version 7 with the same results. The server  
is [http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte\_rootserver/ex10](http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex10). The last few  
lines of output with strace are:

openat(AT\_FDCWD, "/home/ubuntu/elasticsearch-0.19.8/lib/sigar/",  
O\_RDONLY|O\_NONBLOCK|O\_DIRECTORY|O\_CLOEXEC) = 3  
getdents(3, /\* 16 entries _/, 32768) = 720  
getdents(3, /_ 0 entries \*/, 32768) = 0  
close(3) = 0  
mmap(NULL, 266240, PROT\_READ|PROT\_WRITE,  
MAP\_PRIVATE|MAP\_ANONYMOUS|MAP\_STACK, -1, 0) = 0x7fa2dd467000

You're a life saver. I never thought that would have been it. Did have a  
issues with this on another cluster on EC2 with CPU going crazy but just  
didn't make the link...
