| 116 117 118(7) *-aix4.3.2.0 119 120The plock() function appears to fail with ENOMEM (Not Enough Space). When 121it fails, it consumes a lot of memory. This appears to be an AIX bug. I 122think plock returns an error code, but it partially succeeds to lock some 123pages, thus increasing memory consumption. When partial failures occur, it 124is possible that AIX fails to unlock those pages it did lock. Solution: 125turn off usage of plock on AIX. Put plock=no in your amd.conf file (which 126is the default if you do nothing). 127 128Erez. |
