Thanks to the help of Alan Rollow of digital and chris from binghamton,
I am able to increase the data size of my microvax II GPX to 42976k.
The procedure is as follows (our machine name is boole)
1) edit the /sys/conf/BOOLE file and add a line such as dmmax 2048
which will give you maximum of 42976k of datasize.
2) delete /sys/BOOLE/vm_data.o
If you do not delete this file, when you rebuild the kernel, this perticular
file does not get compiled again. Therefore you will not see any changes.
3) rebuild the kernel and everything will work fine.
4) Finally, reboot the machine.
For more information on dmmax, please look into Guide to System
Configuration File Maintainence.
Following is a note I got from one of the response for V4.0
Starting in V4.0 the text, data and stack size are more directly
controlled by thier own parameters. There parameters are
"maxtsiz", "maxdsiz" and "maxssiz" respectively. The page/swap
space allocation size is controlled by "swapfrag". These are
documented in the "Guide to ...".
Thanks for the help. Since I know the solution to the problem, please do not
send me any more suggestions.
