Re[1]: problems with mbuff in rtlinux-2.3

["Terry L. Ridder" <terrylr-at-blauedonau.com>]

hello ray;

how much real memory do these machines have?
how many swap partitions?

the system may be thrashing on memory swapping.

my machines:
all intel boxes have 64mb of ram and two swap partitions.
the alpha box has 500mb of real memory and no swap partions.
(if the system needed to swap memory with 500mb of real
memory something is very wrong.)
