I am getting an allocation failure (only error reported) when attempting to run bpimmedia against individual media IDs. Sometimes the command reports some image data before dumping the error, sometimes it does not. It usually takes several minutes before the error dumps out.
My environment is not particularly big. Images database is 16 GB as reported by du. Usually run about a 1000 jobs per night.
Solaris 8 master (Sun V240) running NBU 5.0MP6. I am executing the command on the server as root.
I have also received similar results when querying the same media from the Catalog section of the GUI.
I did a Google search for this and all I found was a reference to a bug fixed in V3.2. The bug was bprd would reach 256MB in size during a long restore and dump the
error. (Sun patch 108261)
I tried right after a complete reboot ... no help.
Does not seem to affect all media, which is strange.
Would something under the guise of ulimit be at work here? Or maybe /etc/system entries?
Some outputs:
