I was wondering if anyone is running a heavy worked server with memory above 4GB on a SMP 32 bit i386 machine.
I think that my mail server at work is getting bounce buffers, but I am not sure how to detect them. Does anybody no how ? I compiled my kernel for High Memory support, but I am not sure this is all I need to do. Is there another patch I need to worry about or should a stock Debian kernel provide me with all the needs for High memory. There is a person on http://kernel.org named Matthias Andree that wrote a highmem patch and was wondering if that was in the Debian Kernels ? The reason I ask is that occasionally, the server performance spirals down exponentially when both the IO and users logged in gets to a certain level. This seems too look like the buffers are bouncing on the memory channel as documented here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/9/17/81 -- ------------------------------------------ Ted Knab Chester, MD 21619 ------------------------------------------ 940216d6021602a41607166696c656c202778696368602d65616e637 02940226c696e646c69702c6f667560256675627478696e67602a416 0716e6563756e2a0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
