- This probably isn't a bug but...
-
- Does IRIX (4.0.4) normally panic fault if it runs out of swap
- space? I've got a short 5-7 line program that I try to find
- out how much memory I can allocate and it keeps panic faulting.
-
- The syslog has a bunch of these:
-
- Jan 5 13:52:35 nagel unix: dks0d3s1: Swap out failed blkno 0x3C514 (page still in memory)
- Jan 5 13:52:35 nagel unix:
- Jan 5 13:52:35 nagel unix: dks0d3s1: Swap out failed blkno 0x3C834 (page still in memory)
- Jan 5 13:52:35 nagel unix:
- Jan 5 13:52:35 nagel unix: dks0d3s1: Swap out failed blkno 0x3CA9C (page still in memory)
- Jan 5 13:56:53 nagel syslogd: restart
-
-
- And then the system comes up with this:
-
- Jan 5 13:57:04 nagel syslogd: restart
- Jan 5 13:57:05 nagel savecore: reboot after panic:
- Jan 5 13:57:05 nagel PANIC: swapoutpts - i/o error in swap
-
-
- So, is there a disk I/O problem, did we tell it to use more blocks
- than there actually are, or something else I'm missing.
-
- Thanks, Jamie
