- A colleague has recently upgraded his DS5000/125 w/ Ultrix 4.2 to 128MB
- of memory. Aside from changing 'physmem' in the kernel configuration file,
- we are wondering how best to set the maxdsiz, maxtsiz, and maxssiz
- parameters; in particular, is there any problem with setting them all
- very large, eg, equal to physmem ? What sort of overhead would we incur
- by doing so ?
-
- This machine typically runs a single large(data-wise) application at a
- time; because his code is written in c, I'm also concerned about stack
- size.
-
- Any and all insights gratefully received, :-)
