Hi,
After seeing this 'scalability benchmark' (http://bulk.fefe.de/scalability/) a while back, i decided to see how this would work out for gnu/hurd. I checked out the latest cvs, but did have to make a few minor changes to the sources (having to do with 'PATH_MX'. I dont understand C, so I hope I did it right :). Anyway, one of the tests is benchmarking the fork() system call. When I run this as the root user, the system panics. The console gives this message : panic ipc_task_init I am assuming that the equivalent of 'while true; do fork()' would result in the same behavior ? Are there are no system limits for the root user on GNU/Hurd ? Is this intended behavior ? Thanks, Regards, John Smith. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
