Date: Thu, 4 Jun 1998 16:00:14 -0500 Updates: I upgraded to 3.0-980523-SNAP. No change. Dowgraded to 3.0-980504-SNAP. No change. Recompiled the kernel with "NMBCLUSTERS=4096" as per http://x7.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=349752605&CONTEXT=896993782.176226375&hitnum=24 No effect. What I have found out is this. When expire runs it grows to around 230M in size. Testing with ssh and telnet, both begin to fail when 62M of Swap is allocated in top. ssh reports the following debug message: Jun 4 15:58:54 solomon sshd[166]: debug: Forked child 1004. Jun 4 15:58:54 solomon sshd[1004]: log: Connection from 199.170.88.23 port 797 Jun 4 15:58:55 solomon sshd[1004]: debug: Client protocol version 1.5; client software version 1.2.22 Jun 4 15:58:55 solomon sshd[1004]: fatal: xmalloc: out of memory (allocating 1073690875 bytes) Jun 4 15:58:55 solomon sshd[1004]: debug: Calling cleanup 0xf8dc(0x0) and of course fails to let me login. Currently I have an associate recompiling inetd with debug so we can track it also. I'll followup with the results after we get more data. -- jher@io.com Senior Systems Engineer jher@fnord.org Pope http://www.fnord.org Today is Setting Orange, day 9 in the season of Confusion, 3164.
