- Hello,
-
- About a month ago I posted this but got no answer from the
- SGI folks so I'll try again.
-
- We're having some sort of streams related problem
- with 4.0.5 on our 4D-240, which has been going on since
- at least 3.3 (I probably reported it to the hotline
- even before that release, but that's not what I want to
- get into..)
-
- Every few days "netstat -m" starts reporting lots of
- "event" failures and things start breaking; you cannot
- rlogin to the machine. It complains "select resource
- temporarily not available" and Xsession says the same
- thing in SYSLOG. It *seems* to be caused by the quanta
- package being run on the console, at least that's my
- best guess. Since quanta/polygen seems to be a wildly
- popular piece of software on SGIs, I can't imagine that
- we're alone in seeing this problem!? Maybe it's not
- common that other systems are running quanta and have
- a couple of users logged in remotely as well, doing
- other things, but I sort of doubt it.
-
- NPROC has been increased to 256 to no avail. I also
- mentioned that I'd try increasing NSTREVENT but that
- I thought that wouldn't help, as something is probably
- eating the resource and not freeing it. Well, I tried
- increasing it from 30 -> 60 -> 120 and it makes no
- difference, the machine still runs out of "events."
-
- So.. is there any fix for this? Will 4.0.5Z fix it? :-/
