Dont know about this, we will need to take a look.

| 48.2 | Questions | OPG::SIMON | | Mon Dec 14 1992 12:53 | 18 |
| Dave,
about the second problem. A couple of questions:
1) Did you make the kernel changes in the Install guide.
i.e. Uping the "maxusers" and "maxuprc" values. These
are used in an algorithm to calculate siome system buffer
resources.
2) How much swap space do you have configured and how
much is in use when problem seen?
(Use pstat -s)
3) Is anything logged in errorlog when error seen?
(Use uerf -R )
Cheers Simon....

| Simon,
1. Don't think so as the install guide was not available when CM was
first installed. I'll have them build a new kernel and see what
happens.
2. Here's what is seen:
# pstat -s
66682k swap configured
18466k reserved virtual address space
15232k used (5344k text, 0k smem)
51450k free, 984k wasted, 0k missing
avail: 1606*32k 58*1k
3. Nothing out of the ordinary.

| Simon,
Well, it seems the kernel rebuild was done a while ago when the
software was first installed. They have 16Mb of memory. Do you think
this would be the crux of the matter. Have you ever seen insufficient
memory hang an Ultrix system?

| 48.5 | Kernel patch. | OPG::SIMON | | Tue Dec 15 1992 16:33 | 18 |
| Dave,
the memory hang I know of that we found during
early testing was fixed by installing a patch. It was to
do with buffers for file pointers getting lost. To see
if you are getting the problem use:
vmstat -K
Near the end of the list you will see FREE3 buffers. There
should be a few of these, but if they keep growing that
is the memory hang we used to see. The install guide for
EFT2 has the details of patching the system. For prior to
EFT2 there was info in the release notes. Note the patches
are official and can be obtained from the CSC ( or give
me a ring).
Cheers Simon....

| Simon,
Looks like the FREE3 value is around 9440 and is continuing to
grow every few seconds. I'll keep you posted about the patch.

| 48.7 | That is the problem. | OPG::SIMON | | Wed Dec 16 1992 10:48 | 7 |
| Dave,
that is the problem then. I have put the patch files and
a README file in your home directory on mowog.
Give me a ring if you have any more problems with thjis.
Cheers Simon....
