He insisted that Solaris could use the remaining space. I don't quite understand the question, but the kernel is able to make use of whatever memory you throw at it. If you run absolutely nothing else on this box, you'll likely have a lot of cached disk pages. -- 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]
