Unable to link C library. native methods (mlockall) will be disabled

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Centos 6(64)

Tried to start elasticsearch with mlockall. Started, but mlockall : false

Log file message:

[2014 ...,144][WARN ][common.jna] unable to link C library. native methods (mlockall) will be disabled.

File jna-4.1.0.jar here: /usr/share/elasticsearch/lib/jna-4.1.0.jar

Any help?

I've run into this problem because my /tmp is mounted as noexec.
Worked around this using these java opts:
"-Djna.tmpdir=/usr/share/elasticsearch/tmp
-Djava.io.tmpdir=/usr/share/elasticsearch/tmp"

Cheers

Hmmm ...

How /tmp affected link C library?

My /tmp is fine

Any elasticsearch support exists here or only for paid version?

Check *mlockall *section on

The ES devs are around and they may answer your question. But real support
only on paid version.

ES runs on RHEL/Centos 6.

What exact RHEL/Centos 6 is this? Find out with command

cat /etc/redhat-release

What Java JVM do you use?

What file system do you have ES installed on? It must have permission to
execute binaries.

Also you can run this little Java program to find the reason:

Save this as file with name LoadNativeC.java

import com.sun.jna.Native;
public class LoadNativeC {
public static void main(String argv) {
try {
Native.register("c");
} catch (Throwable t) {
t.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Then compile and run with

javac -classpath $ES_HOME/lib/jna-4.1.0.jar LoadNativeC.java
java -classpath $ES_HOME/lib/jna-4.1.0.jar:. LoadNativeC
