Doane) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc Subject: Can't malloc errors; INND system Date: 11 Jul 1995 04:23:14 GMT Organization: American Information Systems, Inc. Lines: 25 Message-ID: <3tsubi$om@news.ais.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: eagle.ais.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] 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? -Andrew -- _/_/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ Andrew J.
