Re: Out Of Memory Question

Out of memory problems aren't usually what they say they are.

They usually indicate a malloc() failure in the program as it tries to
allocate memory for a buffer. I see it more with tape processing than with
files.

Hi all, I am having a problem with a B80 saying "There is not enough memory
available now" quote doing copies (cp). I have all the user accounts set
to -1 unlimited for everything. Here is what vmtune parameters I also
have set...

-p 5
-P 20
-S 1
-R 64
-r 8
-h

I have also turned the -h to 0 also and still no change.

Here is what vmstat shows...
