You can cut down the memory usage for some of the services. I mentioned how to do it with Apache. In the startup script for nfs, /etc/init.d/nfs, the number it starts is 8. You can change them all. The rest of them you need to check the docs.
Think about what you're using. How many users? What kind of constant load? How is it performing now? If you have say more than 10-15 users, put some more memory in there. Its cheap and it can't hurt. The processor can probably handle a small for web and file sharing. --rje -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of daniel Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 6:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: multiple occurrences of a single service that's the thing i need all of those services on there (outside of trying to get all the mac users to go with osX so we can all use nfs) so i suppose my question is: is that hardware config too small for what i need? or are these memory allocation errors a product of a bad config? ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 5:49 PM Subject: RE: multiple occurrences of a single service | That's all normal.
