I'm trying to bring up the new 2.9 unix (ala Bostic) and was trying to test
the swapper for a new disk handler by launching a slew of beefy processes to
force swaps. The program:
char c [48*1024];
main()
{
for (;;);
}
I'm using an 11/73 with 1 meg and running an overlaid kernal with the networking
code installed. There are a goodly number of daemons present too. The problem
is when I reach the level where a swap is forced (about 13 of those beasts in
the background), I get a short of swap; no more processes error. My swap device
is about 2 meg, so there should be no problem. This is with the RL02 handler.
Even killing these background beasts refuses to allow me to start any new
processes. I tried this out on the old 2.9 release with no problems.
Anyone run into this kind of trouble?
Thanx, Bob Ankeney
