Re: Memory Limits for UNIX Client: What should they be?

Paul,

        This client has 4 Gigs memory and a 560 Meg maxdsize.  HPUX 11.0

        1.      Count files per subdirectory to find where they concentrate.
        2.      Run backup, watch physical memory and ps -el | sort +9n to
see if you hit kernal parameter or hardware limit.
        3.      Add memory .. tune maximum amount of physical memory allowed
to a single process (maxdsize) on HP.

Jeff
