Re: 2.0 kernel eating all memory

Hi John!

Has anyone besides Al Zick and myself noticed that memory allocated to the kernel on NetBSD 2.0 on at least Amiga and mac68k keeps growing and growing until the system runs out of memory and crashes?

Yes, just to confirm this. My A4000 still does not run long enough to have eaten up _all_ the memory, but after just 2 days of uptime it already uses 32MB:

Amiga 4000 with 128MB of memory after 2 days, mostly busy building software from pkgsrc:
  6 root      18    0     0K   32M syncer    22:57  0.15%  0.15% [ioflush]

Did anyone of the mac68k-Users confirm this or is this problem netbsd/amiga-specific?

Mm, my A4000/040 with (amazing) 16 MB just halts during compilation jobs. I have to test this with another "top" or "vmstat" console. The "cannot lock on myself" message I saw on the debugger promt while A+A+CTRL might point into your direction (?).

Guess I'll try 1.6.2 and compare them within next week.

Hi,

I produced another stop with top running. Memory seems not a problem for me, the machine suddenly stopped with 3,5 M file and 1,1 M free :-(

I'll swap that RAM before the next try...
