SUMMARY: Error messages in /var/adm/messages
Thanks very much to all who responded!
Request for information :
Nov 28 12:07:23 kahn vmunix: malloc_wait:513: no space in map
Nov 28 12:11:13 kahn vmunix: malloc_wait:769: no space in map
Can someone pls tell me how to remedy this problem.
Is there a kernel subsystem attribute perhaps that I can tweak?
Unsure as to what map is lacking space???
Responses to request for information:
I have only included an excerpt from my first response. In essence,
this is probably an inquiry for someone specialized in the vm subsystem.
1.) ...
Some further information: The routine malloc_wait() did not even exist
in V4.0x of the product; it was added, probably in V5.0, although I did
not go back to V5.0 sources to check for it. It is clearly present in
V5.1.
The routine is present in a source module called kernel/bsd/kern_malloc.c
which implements the kernel's internal "malloc" and "free" logic.
The number between the two colons is a value returned by a routine that
is called "atomic_incl()"
...
2.)
I would _guess_ that increasing vm-mapentries in your /etc/sysconfigtab
should solve it. See system administration and tuning guide for the
instructions. You should be able to find the guide starting from
