SUMMARY: Re: Memory Installation Problem
PROBLEM: Additional 16M of RAM installed, but machine was unable to make use
of it. Memory shown as available at boot time, but yields "Out of
memory errors" upon reaching 24M of usage. A look at ps(1) shows
only the 24M in use despite 36M supposedly available.
SOLUTION: It would appear that it was not simply a matter of more physical
memory needed, but also of more swap space to match. This can
be corrected either by increasing the size of your swap partition
(default under SunOS 4.1.3 is partition b on the internal drive)
or using mkfile(8) to create an additional one and then adding it to
/etc/fstab.
THANKS: To all those who responded!
