Does anyone know the (REAL) size of the blocks referred to by the ps command? The man page just says blocks, the HPSL says 512 bytes, at least two other manuals (SA Tasks and SA Concepts) say 2048 bytes. I guess if it refers to disk blocks, then it _could_ vary, depending on machine, OS, etc. We're running HP-UX 7.0 on a 9000 835S. Thanx...

600/800 7.0 : 512 bytes per block (i.e. "normal" UNIX blocks a la "du") 300/400 7.0 : 4096 bytes per block (i.e. Series 300/400 pages) Others (i.e. 8.0 and/or 700) : Don't know. The 8.0 manual page does not tell. Frank Slootweg, working but not speaking for HP at the Dutch RC.

SZ adds the incore text size, data size and stack size, which are held in the kernel as pages, then it's multiplied by bytes-per-page to get bytes, then it's divided by 512 to get 512 byte blocks. There are a variety of block sizes, aren't there :-? Doug McKenzie HP S800/HP-UX Support mck@cup.hp.com Speaking only for myself, etc.

SZ field is is in 512 byte blocks on the S800 & 4096 byte blocks on the S300. Graham McMahon
