hi all,

I've been running a few oscar clusters for a while now (using the oscar cd
version). Each slave node on the cluster has 2GB of RAM, however when I run
'checknode nodeXX' on the master node I get the following output (note i've
snipped some of the unimportant output):

State:      Idle  (in current state for 4:03:17)
Configured Resources: PROCS: 1  MEM: 896  SWAP: 2900  DISK: 1
Utilized   Resources: [NONE]
Dedicated  Resources: [NONE]
Opsys:       DEFAULT  Arch:       linux
Speed:      1.00  Load:       0.000
Network:    [DEFAULT]
Features:   [all]
Classes:    [workq 1:1]

As you can see, it claims that there is only 896MB of memory installed.
Does this matter? i.e. will jobs that I run use the whole 2GB or will they
stop when they have used the 896MB? Also, the swap space that is being
advertised is incorrect when compared with the actual swap space (1GB) on
the nodes.

Also, does anyone know where Maui is getting this value from? Is there some
config file that I can set this value in? 

Any help that you can give would be much appreciated,

Thanks,

Rich
