Since this isn't one of the options supported by >vice-setup-rvm I thought I would just hack the script by taking the >3.3 GB option and just multiplying everything by 10. Read the rvm setup scripts and you should see some entries for larger servers. I have a 34 GB disk that I broke up into two smaller servers and ran multiple servers on the same machine. The vice setup scripts are written to set up multiple vice servers on the same machine. The problems you will run into with large servers are: 1) Address space for your RVM segment. This usually depends on OS. 2) Start-up time. For large servers you should run with RVM using map-private mapping. This has been used but is still labelled "experimental". 3) Using multiple servers requires that you have IP Aliases so that each server has a different IP address. I'm sure I missed mentioning a few things ... but these should be the big ones. -- Phil Nelson NetBSD: http://www.netbsd.org e-mail: phil@cs.wwu.edu Coda: http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu http://cs.wwu.edu/faculty/nelsonReceived on 2001-01-10 14:02:58
