2478.0. "Errors LIB$GET_VM and LIB-F-BADBLOADR on Fetch" by PADKOA::COSTEUX (Le Plat Pays qui est le mien...) Thu Apr 10 1997 11:32

    A customer is running CMS-V3.8-2 on a system running OVMS V6.1 and gets
    the following errors while trying to fetch one (big) element:
    
    %CMS-F-BUG, ....
    -CMS-F-SYSFAIL, LIB$GET_VM SYSTEM SERVICE FAILED
    -LIB-F-BADLOADR, ....
    
    I checked his PGFLQUO which is already at 500000. Risning it up don't
    solve the problem.
    
    Any idea ?
    
    Thanks for help.

2478.1some questionsEDSDS6::GLEASONDaryl Gleason, DECset EngineeringMon Apr 14 1997 11:2112
    Hi Jean-Pierre,
    
    Here are some questions that should help us to figure out what
    specifically is going on or at least should get us started.
    
    How large is his VIRTUALPAGECNT SYSGEN parameter? It will need to be at
    least as large as the page file quota. How big is the delta file itself
    in blocks, and how many generations of the element are there? Is the
    element a text file or a binary file? If the CMS library is on a
    cluster, does this happen from other machines in the cluster?

2478.2Here are some infos.AUBER::COSTEUXLe Plat Pays qui est le mien...Wed Apr 16 1997 10:157
    Hi Daryl,
    
    The VIRTUALPAGECNT parameter is > 1000000, the library control files are
    close to 20000 blocks, the library contains 1112 elements and the
    element concerned with the problem has only 2 generations.

    Hi Jean-Pierre,
    
    That VIRTUALPAGECNT looks good. The number of elements in the library
    should be irrelevant; we're only concerned with the size and type of
    this particular element. Knowing that there are only two generations is
    helpful.
    
    What are you calling the "library control files"? If you're referring
    to the 01CMS.CMS file, that size should be irrelevant too. What I'm
    looking for is the size of the element data file (the delta file) for
    this particular element; the delta file will be found in one of the
    CMS$xxx subdirectories of the library.
    
    Thanks for the info thus far. We'll still need the answers to the other
    questions I asked too.
    
    How feasible would it be to send us a copy of the library so that we
    can try it here, should it come to that?
    
    Thanks,
