Hi everyone, I am working on my incomplete LWT project. And lately I am facing with "out of string space" message (which I believe) does not directly originate from Minix (since the code does not have such a message, unless it is encyrpted. This message comes up after loading the root file system, and during login. And login does not take you anywhere, than asking username and password. If you have any ideas about the cause, origin, solution or remarks please mail me at mtuna@silver.ucs.indiana.edu . Thanks, Esen Tuna

With this command, and fgrep, you can find the source of the message in less time than it takes you to say, "Where the h*ll is that d*mn message coming from?" As to WHY you are getting the message, I have no idea. [filler] [filler] [filler] [filler] [filler] [filler] [filler]

My first instincts would be to check the rootfile system ..... shankar

The solution is to give the shell more memory with chmem. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)

The 'out of string space' message is comming from the shell do a chmem to it and it will work. Matthias Pfaller (leo@marco.de)
