Lately we have been getting a number of "out of gnodes" or "gnode: table
is full" messages. The machine is a MicroVAX II running Ultrix 2.3. The
machine is both an NFS server and client with two other machines (a Sun
and an HP) on the network. I am assuming from looking at include files,
etc., that is is a file system thing. It hasn't caused any problems yet
that we have seen, but I would like to know what is going on. Thanks!

The machine is a MicroVAX II running Ultrix 2.3. The A gnode is a generic i-node like structure created in memory for accessing local and remote files in a uniform way. Every open file in the kernel has one gnode structure associated with it. The gnode is the Ultrix counterpart of the old in-core i-node. Gnodes are allocated from table with a static size fixed at kernel compile time. In your case the problem seems to be that too many files are being opened at the same time and the system runs out of gnodes. | Jeff Lo | ..!{ames,hplabs,uunet}!elan!jlo | Elan Computer Group, Inc. | (415) 322-2450 --Srini (srini@cs.wisc.edu)
