- I just found this newsgroup. I recently posted a version of
- the following to comp.unix.admin but this seems to be a better
- place for this problem.
-
- Hello I am trying to resolve problems on Dell Unix SVR4
- Issue 2.2 platform I suspect but am not certain that something in
- the Dell Unix is misconfigured. Hope it's something I can adjust
-
- I am getting a large number of messages of the form:
-
- WARNING: rmfree map overflow D01B475C. lost 1 items at -19yxxx
-
- where y is 0, 1, or 2 and x is a decimal digit. These messages
- appear to be written to /dev/console not stdout or stderr. I
- don't see them when running under X but when I exit X, I find
- the last couple that haven't rolled off the top of the screen.
-
- Under Dell Unix SVR4 error messages don't accumulate in
- /usr/adm/log. Is there a way to reconfigure so the
- system error messages are logged.
-
- At the time the errors occure I am running a script to apply
- patch "2" to Oracle V6.0.34.2.1 Oracle is attempting to
- replace files in large .a archives. After getting many of these
- errors the system eventually crashes and I have to hit the
- power switch to get it restarted. When I try again after the
- reboot and fsck's the archives are corrupted. Will pursue
- this with Oracle and Dell Tech support in the morning. Hope
- somebody recognizes this error message and I don't have to
- resort to a horrendous find command looking for the string
- "rmfree map overflow"
