I'm about to test it over the weekend and see what happens. I know Java 1.4.2 (at least the latest version installed with 10.3.9) will crater with Kernel Panics. It sounds a lot like the problems that Azureus suffered from on Dual Processor Macs. When too many connections were opened simultaniously, Azureus would kernel panic. Apparently they found a work- around though. For my test this weekend, I'm gonna go for broke and use the latest JVM available for Tiger (1.5.0_04-39) and see how it goes. (If anyone else installs it, keep in mind your computer will continue to use the 1.4.X version unless you change a specific directory link, or use a hard coded path to the java 1.5 binary.) I did see some things in the start-freenet.sh script that might need to be changed to improve performance/clarity. First, it doesn't set the java argument -xx:MaxDirectMemorySize if you are running on OSX with JVM 1.4.2 or later. That is a legit flag for the OSX Sun JVM, so I don't know why it skips that argument only on OSX (Darwin). I'm just commenting out the "if" and "fi" statements above and below the line that sets that argument. Second, when launched on a machine running a JVM later than 1.4.2, it still says you are using 1.4.2. It should say: "Sun Java 1.4.2 or later detected." Finally, as the readme suggests, I'm adding these lines to the start script just before the "Starting freenet now" line: if test `uname` == "Darwin"; then ulimit -S -n 1024 fi That ups the file descriptor limit to the same as the default on other platforms. After that, you need to up the "maxNodeConnections" parameter to 512 in the config file. I'm also upping the memory limit to -Xmx256m just because the machine has a decent amount of ram. With these changes, OSX should be running with the same parameters as linux or windows. _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
