I'm fairly new to BSDI, although I am familiar with Linux, Unixware,
and other SVR4 machines.
I am running BSDI 2.0 (with 1-11 kernel patches) on a P90 w/32 meg.
100 meg Swap partition.
The machine is used for news, running INND 1.4sec2. I apparently have
some memory leaks. INND is trying to fork off NNRP and is failing
due to malloc errors.
ps shows that each nnrp is using about 1 meg ram, innd is using about 3.
I am confused why the system wouldn't just swap out if it was really
running out of ram.
Anyone have any ideas? Is this a known problem? Other than ps or top,
is there some commands to display ram/swap status?
