Perkins" Reply-to: blp@exile.net Subject: Meaning of error in /var/log messages X-Mailer: Ishmail-demo 1.2.2-960610-linux MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm running FreeBSD on a machine which is a dedicated Internet Relay Chat server. This afternoon the machine seemed to drop off the net for about 20 minutes. When I was on the verge of calling into the office to have it booted, it started accepting connections again, both telnet and irc. A look in the /var/log/messages file showed only one message which was from the correct time period. It's as follows: Jul 14 12:22:35 irc /kernel: mb_map full Can you shed any light on what it's trying to tell me, whether it could be responsible for the freeze up, and possibly how to correct it? Thanks for any assistance. Ben Perkins -- Ben L. Perkins /\ Houston, TX, USA blp@exile.net \/ http://www.io.com/~blp finger blp@io.com for PGP public key.
