Does any one know what the following message means? I usually get this message when I exit out of Sunview. Note that I do not get this message everytime I exit Sunview. But these days, it is happening more often. > panic: psig action > syncing file systems... [17] 2 [17] 1 [16] 1 [14] 1 [11] 1 [7] 1 [3] 1 [2] > 1 [2] 1 [2] 1 [2] 1 [2] 1 [2] 1 [2] 1 [2] 1 [2] 1 [2] 1 [2] 1 [2] 1 done > 00000 low-memory static kernel pages > 00677 additional static and sysmap kernel pages > 00016 dynamic kernel data pages > 00135 additional user structure pages > 00001 segmap kernel pages > 00000 segvn kernel pages > 00432 current user process pages > 00074 user stack pages > 01335 total pages (1335 chunks) > > dumping to vp ff022f54, offset 30456 > 1335 total pages, dump succeeded > rebooting... Brief history: I had a SPARCstation 1+ (SunOS 4.1) with 8Meg of memory and a color monitor. I had no problem whatsoever with that machine. The swap space was set to 16Meg and total disk space of 104Meg. Then I got a new SPARCstation 1+ with 16Meg of memory and a monochrome monitor as the replacement for the original SPARC. Instead of copying files from one disk to another, I had the hard-disk swapped. Things seem to work fine, but then I started getting the above "panic: .." message. I thought, it might be related to the swap space. So, I increased it to 20Meg (can't afford any more disk space). According to the Sun manual, this much space should be okay. I looked into "Sun User's Guide: Basic Troubleshooting" and other manuals for an explanation of the problem, and found no mention of "panic: psig action". Does any one has a clue as to what is going wrong? Another Problem: I am also using NFS to mount file space of a CDC's Cyber 850 machine (running NOS/VE). I have used NFS of CYBER from a variety of machines and I have had never a problem. So I suspect, if the following error message is somehow related with the above problem: > NFS write error 13 on host cdc1 fh 75300 1 289317f0 5b32315b 32315b32 > 315e535e 55504552 5e4c5e00 The hexadecimal numbers after "NFS write error 13 on host cdc1" change everytime this message is repeated. Any clues on either or these problems? If the information I have provided in insufficient, then send mail to the address(es) mentioned below. Thanks for your help.
