What Debian Linux Kernel works best for High Memory ( > 4GB) machines that are under heavy io loads ?
I have a courier/postfix maildir IMAP mail server with 10GB of RAM. Occasionally, the memory gets all chewed up and it becomes unusable. I think it becoming unusable because of buffer bounces. However, the documentation tells me that the virtual memory allocation and bounce buffer problem was fixed in 2001. http://lwn.net/2001/0607/kernel.php3 Is anyone using high memory on servers with heavy loads ? I am running a 2.4.22 kernel on a machine with a 4GB. This machine is also under a heavy load as it servers up web-mail, but I have no problems with it. However things seem to turn experimental with more than than 4GB of RAM. -- ------------------------------------------ Ted Knab Chester, MD 21619 ------------------------------------------ 940216d6021602a41607166696c656c202778696368602d65616e637 02940226c696e646c69702c6f667560256675627478696e67602a416 0716e6563756e2a0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
