ciao, I received a number of replies (THANKS!) from my earlier request for information on SCSI and RAM difficulties. The most distressing type of response the RAM question was of the flavor "A/UX ate the rest [of your physical memory]", so in the interest of knowledge does the below message really indicate that A/UX is using the rest of memory? Total memory size 8388608 Available memory 4505600 68020 caching enabled /etc/sysinitrc : system initialization Note that I am not running either X (I hope to when I get some of my other problems solved) nor *ANY* network code, THIS IS A STAND-ALONE A/UX (pronounced OX) box. Can A/UX really be using all of that memory? (peace chance) mas --

Can A/UX really be using all of that memory? Yes. It looks like kconfig(1) has been run and set some large (but typical) values for things like NBUFS. For example, I typically have NBUF=5000 NFILE=400 NINODE=400 for 8 megs. You can cut that way down by 3 megs or more by downsizing these parameters. The system release notes contain the guidelines. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Philip K.
