unless someone has broken 9vx since i last pulled, the code has
that case handled.
for (pno = 0; ; pno++) {
if (pno == VXPROCSMAX) {
errno = EAGAIN;
return NULL;
}
if (procs[pno] == 0)
break;
}
if you follow vxproc_alloc calls, you'll see that each
caller checks the return value and does something reasonable.
given this,
main.c:318: conf.nproc = 100 + ((conf.npage*BY2PG)/MB)*5;
main.c:319: if(conf.nproc > 2000)
main.c:320: conf.nproc = 2000;
i'd suspect that the real problem is you're not giving 9vx enough
kernel memory. try setting kernelpercent to something largeish.
but of course, i'm just guessing. it would be helpful to have some
debugging output.
