Hi!
Making my first steps on DECStations, I see the follwoing behavior:
- Running juite a number of processes like
void main(void){for(;;);}
is no real problem. They don't want any memory;)
- *But* only running two processes which malloc() a large memory
region (read: 10MB each on my 5000/120 w/ 8MB RAM *but* enough
swap to provide that virtual memory) will lock up the box quite
predictably...
Is there any advice you can give me on how to start debugging the
process of swapping in/out pages? I really don't know enough about
Linux' VM system and it's arch-dependand backend on MIPSel.
MfG, JBG
