Eric,

If I start dipping into swap I tend to get more RAM. You're already well outfitted with 4GB physical memory. You'd said that you're running the firenet scripts and Xastir. That shouldn't be an exhaustive load. However, if you dip into swap, you're memory-bound, almost certainly.

I wouldn't discount Curt's suggestion of a hardware (memory or memory controller) issue.

gerry

Hi Chip,

My setup is as follows:

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz
HHD: 500GB
RAM: 4GB
Motherboard: ASUS M2N32-SLI

I'm running Fedora 7 with the 2.6.22.1-27.fc7 kernel.

I'm currently not connected to a TNC (gotta get a longer serial cable)
so all my data is coming off the IS.

I'm setup to have 8GB of swap and I've only gotten that far when running
John the Ripper.  Otherwise I've never seen utilization over 2.5GB.  Per
Curt's request I will check for mem spillage as that could be a problem.

73s,
Eric W4OTN

Yes. Can you tell us more about your setup? What OS are you using (and
version)? What version of Xastir are you using? What interfaces do you
have configured? Are you using a serial (TNC) connection? If so, how is
the TNC connected to the computer?

I've noticed some odd behavior from Xastir over the past couple of
days. I left it up and running last night and when I went to bed my
network lights were happily blinking like crazy as I was attached to
the FireNet IS. When I got up this morning Xastir was sitting there
with no map and no stations showing on the screen. There was also no
activity on the network. It just seemed dead. I had to argue a little
with it to make it close down. Has anyone else seen this kind of
behavior?
