Hi Keith, I'm vaguely daydreaming about a few KDB enhancements, I was curious if you've thought about them: -- 'cat /proc/meminfo' Turns out one bug I was chasing was OOM on a machine with 32GB of RAM (!) and it took me days to even think of looking there. -- Support for examining structures symbolically. I've had to walk the buffer cache by hand in the past, I've walked task struct by hand yesterday, and they guy down the hall stares at network structs. I don't know if it would be better to handle a few of these as special-cases in some simple manner, or if some more complex but generic mechanism would be better ... --linas |
