Hi everybody,
I'm currently encountering a problem with running big jobs on an ALPHA 600
5/333 workstation. The jobs require 400Mb-800Mb of RAM and we only have
512Mb available so we use the swap space to help out. However, we get
very slow console response (expected) but then we get console lockup and
the following error in the Console log:
Dec 10 18:10:05 turb12 vmunix: malloc failed: bucket size = 524288, #of
failures = 1, ra 0xfffffc00003a2f8c
Dec 10 20:08:45 turb12 vmunix: malloc failed: bucket size = 131072, #of
failures = 1, ra 0xfffffc00003a2f8c
Dec 10 20:39:12 turb12 vmunix: malloc failed: bucket size = 65536, #of
failures = 1, ra 0xfffffc00003a2f8c
Dec 10 20:55:26 turb12 vmunix: malloc failed: bucket size = 32768, #of
failures = 1, ra 0xfffffc00003a2f8c
Dec 10 21:01:35 turb12 vmunix: malloc failed: bucket size = 12288, #of
failures = 1, ra 0xfffffc00003a2f8c
At the same time, we RPC connection time out errors on other workstations
connected to this ALPHA via NFS when other users want to access their
files.
Anyone have any insight as to whether the errors listed above is serious
and/or what they exactly mean?
Thanks in advance,
Tim
