Thanks John, I was wondering if there shouldn't be an eyecatcher somewhere telling me if I were short on memory. My /proc/meminfo shows plenty of free memory and no swapping taking place. I've found no memory messages anywhere indicating an issue.
I've gathered additional information: The in-house written JIT "benchmark" application is writing stats to the syslog so the programmer can watch the progress. I'm guessing that this is taking place at a few hundred to a thousand writes per second. Since the user is hooked in via SSH across the internal servers, using syslogd, TCP/IP, the qdio driver, and whatever else, I'm suspecting that it just couldn't keep up. The problem is that the vendor has a Deveolperworks image up and they have tested the benchmark application with no issues. I have recently upgraded my kernel to 2.4.9-38 with the OCO code for the qdio support. Do I also need to upgrade syslogd and other products? --- John Summerfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, 4 Jun 2003 23:32, you wrote: > > Could it be you "just" ran out of memory?
