the manual pages for venti and fossil do spell out a number of parameters to control memory usage. but you probablly knew that. running the fs on the same machine as the cpu server can be a problem when used heavily. plan 9 overcommits physical memory. and fossil or venti may be left holding the bag. ndb/dns also has an ever-growing footprint. > i can't even compile some ports of gnu things ☺. glad to hear that there is a silver lining. > about the unstability, i should disable swap partition to see if that fix > something ☺ i find important to comb the kernel panic messages. running out of kernel memory is fatal. however, it could be that you are using very little and can decrease kernelpercent. - erik
