Your question, I think, put me onto something. I've been rerunning the mirror command with top running. mirror fails with the memory size around 520m consistantly. Limits gives me a datasize limit of 524288kb. (Close enough for me!) I've come to the conclusion that the man page would benefit from some examples. I've been trying to raise the datasize limit but it does not seem to take. Example: limits -B -d 4g mirror.sh... still blows up with memory values, from top, around 520m (give or take a little.) You've gotten me looking in the right area. All I have to do now is get the override to work. Can anybody provide any insights on how to actually do this? Cheers... -- Try not. Or. Or do not. There is no try.--Yoda To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
