Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Sat, 10 Jun 2000 21:00:30 -0700 From: Dave Hayes Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG [ Please CC me on responses. Thank you. ] On 3.3-STABLE the following kernel message appeared recently: pmap_collect: collecting pv entries -- suggest increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC Is there a place I can get more specific information as to what this means, so I can perhaps embark on the road to a correct solution and/or interpretation of what happened? Alternatively, can someone explain? On a related note, I took a look at the code and saw the following disturbing thing: void pmap_collect() { ... static int warningdone=0; ... if (warningdone < 5) { printf("pmap_collect: collecting pv entries -- suggest increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC\n"); warningdone++; } The machine in question has 57 days of uptime. This code appears to imply that I only get to see this 5 times during this period. :) Was this intentional? ------ Dave Hayes - Consultant - Altadena CA, USA - dave@jetcafe.org >>> The opinions expressed above are entirely my own <<< A person being delivered from the danger of a fierce lion does not object whether this service is performed by unknown or illustrious individuals.
