1968.0. "XIO: not enough core" by TKTV20::TSURUMI (SWEET BASIL) Mon Dec 25 1989 05:45


     When my customer runs the DECwindows program, following error message
     is displays.

        XIO: not enough core

     (No more messages are following.)

     So, what does the word "core" mean ?  I guess that is some kind of
     resource. If it is true, which resource ? UAF quota ?

     Any ideas ?
     Thanks in advance.

"core" is an antiquated reference to memory.  I'd absolutly QAR/SPR this
error message since my machine doesn't have any core in it at all, and 'windows
still appears to run ok.  Anyhow, I'd look at things like page file quota,
bytlim, virtual page count, etc.

    I commented on this over a year ago, and the response at the time was
    something like "not my message". It was one of those hard-coded
    messages which X is "blessed" with.

    Actually, I think it should be "not enough plated wire". Remember
    plated wire? It was supposed to replace core...

it is probably a result of the people at MIT trying to bring back a form of
NVR that they understand well.  "Good enough for the PDP-1, good enough for me".

    It's probably MIT trying to bring back a form of memory in which MIT
    has a proprietary interest.
    
    One Jay Forrester of MIT invented coincident current core memory long
    ago, (possibly for Whirlwind?) -- MIT ended up owning the patent.
    
    The above is one version of history as passed down.  Can anyone
    elaborate up this or correct it?

	Are you sure this is a VMS machine?  This message, and it's format
reminds me that it might be a Unix-style message.  Be sure to find out what
kind of machine, and what OS - it could be Ultrix!

    Yes, this occured on VMS machine. VS3500 with 24MB memory.
    Client and Server is on a same node.

    That application could completely run when my customer gave a huge
    PGFLQUOTA to the process.

    How should I resolve this kind of error (XIO:...), any documentation?
