I have just started running NetBSD on a P5-120 and so far the performance
seems impressive. However, I do seem to have one small problem.
I am getting repeated (very frequently) the following error message:
/netbsd: mb_map full
The machine is being used as our News Server and so far it seems to be
running circles around not only a decent sized SparcServer, but also
the same hardware running Linux. I have another P5 running NetBSD and
a Sparc1 runing NetBSD but this is the only one logging this error. I
assume it must have something to do with the load on the machine (which
by the way, is not really high).
Can anyone tell me what it means and more importantly what to do about
it as I can't believe it is a good thing.
Thanks.
bill
