Sender: owner-freebsd-sparc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've been running Jake's March 7th kernel (once I finally copied it into the right location), and noted that the kernel memory limits seem absurdly low -- so low, in fact, that my Ultra 5 has deadlocked in `cvs co' several times as a result of running into the kmem limit for FFS nodes: FFS node 8467 4234K 4670K 6144K 35726 0 0 512 This machine thought that maxvnodes ought to be 19275, which would have required at least 9640K of memory just for FFS nodes. Things seem to be working reasonanbly now that I have lowered maxvnodes to 8192, and vnlru appears to actually be running, but I would obviously prefer to have a more reasonably-sized kernel malloc arena. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
