This is a P120, 32meg. Lately, fine has degenerated into bad into worse into absolutely obscene. It even kills my PGSQL compiles. And I killed *EVERYTHING* there was to kill. The only processes were init, bash and gcc/cc1. VM still wiped it out. d On Mon, 8 May 2000, Rik van Riel wrote: > On 8 May 2000, Zlatko Calusic wrote: > > > BTW, this patch mostly *removes* cruft recently added, and > > returns to the known state of operation. > > Which doesn't work. > > Think of a 1GB machine which has a 16MB DMA zone, > a 950MB normal zone and a very small HIGHMEM zone. > > With the old VM code the HIGHMEM zone would be > swapping like mad while the other two zones are > idle. > > It's Not That Kind Of Party(tm) > > cheers, > > Rik > -- > The Internet is not a network of computers.
