Multiprocessor VAXes exist, but you're stuck with either Ultrix or VMS on them. Hi Pat, it's good to see your name in my inbox. NetBSD ran on multiprocessor BI-bus VAXen many, many years ago. Is that support broken? I made it run on 8300 once, in the early days of NetBSD MP. I planned to make it run on both 8800 and 6300, but due to lack of docs neither of those came true. So, unless someone has a 8300 to test on (just over 1 VUPS per CPU, not much), current state is unknown.

The serial console showed: panic: usrptmap space leakage cpu0: Begin traceback... panic: usrptmap space leakage Stack traceback : Process is executing in user space. cpu0: End traceback... Hm, can you add info about this panic to PR #28379 ? I will try to hunt this down soon, so I need some test cases. -- Ragge

OpenBSD VAX is static only, so no postgresql on OpenBSD VAX before shared libraries will ever be made working on it. Ouch. We long ago passed the point of no return as far as requiring shared library support: there's too much backend functionality that's in separate shared libraries rather than being linked directly into the core executable. I doubt anyone will be interested in taking on the task of supporting a parallel all-static build. I think this means we can write off VAX on NetBSD/OpenBSD as a viable platform for Postgres :-(. I'm sad to hear it, but certainly have not got the cycles personally to prevent it. OpenBSD/vax is static only. NetBSD/vax has dynamic libraries. -- Ragge -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
