[comp.sys.sun] Simulating less memory available

nelson@epiwrl.epi.com (Ken Nelson) (11/16/90)

We have a Sun 4 with 16 megabytes of memory.  We use it to develop, etc...
We have had problems with customers with systems with less memory.  They
notice performance woes, and in some case our product behaves differently.

It would be nice to be able to diagnose these problems without pulling 8
meg out of our machine all the time.  Is there a way of through software
of telling the Sun to ignore 8 meg, or perhaps filling up 8 meg so that it
is not swapped out and simply not available?

  Thanks,
