Maybe someone out there has had a similar experience, if so *pleez* help: We are running Wollongong's WIN/3B 1.1 on three 3B2 310's, (SysVR3.0). Lately I've had some problems with memory management in the packages driver. The console will display "Sh: no buffer space available" repeatedly. Well, a "netstat -m" (display memory usage) will show that, of 512 "mbufs" available for use, usually > 500 are in use. (I have found that a typical "rlogin" will use ~15 mbufs). The *real* annoying part is that, when I find this unusual problem, a "netstat -A" (show active connections) will sometimes reveal that an "rn" or "rlogin" connection was left hanging (with no controlling process) and other time will reveal NO active connections. I have found no way to deallocate this memory short of a complete POWERDOWN! I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this, and if so, how the heck can I deal with it? I would be happy to find or write a program that sends an ioctl down to the driver to tell it to deallocate the memory. The documentation for WIN/3B leaves something to be desired... Thanks in advance. =========================================================================== | Don Ferencz | "And in the end/ | | ferencz@cwsys3.cwru.EDU | The love you take/ | | Department of Systems Engineering | Is equal to the love you make." | | Case Western Reserve University | -- The Beatles | ===========================================================================
