Do you have any third-party kernel drivers installed? Have you tried running with "set kmem_flags=0xf" in /etc/system and then using ::findleaks in mdb? (Note that 120011-14 is a patch ID number, which means that you're running Solaris 10, which is *NOT* based on OpenSolaris. When seeking help for problems in non-OpenSolaris-based distributions, you might do better with a list other than opensolaris.org ...) -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
