what a day.... I am hoping someone will be able to help me with this problem. For some reason when I try to untar files, the machine hangs.. I let this one 850MB file untar over night and it still wasn't done by noon the next day... The server's specs are fairly good... AMD 450, 256 MB ram, and 10,000 RPM Ultra2 SCSI drive.. for some reason though, it's not using all the ram... when I "top" it says 25MB used, 229MB inact, and 616K free.. so I know that is the problem.. it can't run right with only 616K free.. so how do I get it to use the rest so it will work? Why doesn't it adjust automatically depending on load? and BTW.. I am a Linux guy trying to run FBSD for the first time... ;) -thanks... ..rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
