Hello Hans and everybody from Dosemu mailing list,
We just put dosemu 0.99.xx (xx = I really don't remember the last release, I
guess it's 10) with kernel 2.2.5 (Redhat 6.0) running a system developed in
Clipper Summer. Employees access the main server using old stations (most of
them are 386DX) with a Linux boot disk requesting dynamic IP using dhcpd to
telnet the main server. Everything is running pretty fine.
The server is a Pentium II 400 - 128Mb RAM (48 megs of swap).
There's just one problem :)))))))
When 32 workstations are logged working pretty well (32 copies of dosemu in
memory), the 33th will try to log on and dosemu seems to fail while booting
MSDOS (v6.22). It's important to say that the swap space is not being used
most of the time. I really don't know if it's a memory problem.
Is there any limit for simultaneous copies of dosemu running in the same
machine?
The Linux file descriptors seems not to be a problem in this case.
The most interesting thing is that DOSEMU does not give any information when
it fails, it simply doesn't load MSDOS and abort the load.
Any hint? What was the highest number of process of dosemu have you ever
seen?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you,
Daniel Lafraia
