I have an Origin 200 w/1 MIPS 5000 processor, 128 MB RAM and 5GB SCSI HD. This machine is becoming obsolete at our location because of IRIX's failure to supporting up-to-date services like BIND 8.x, Sendmail 8.1x, etc. I refuse to trash the machine because of the great hardware. It will be so-o-o nice to run a popularly supported OS on this box, also to be able to use it as a production server again.

The question I have is more generic - how much vmalloc space can we expect to be used in worst case in practice on an Origin?

"Worst case in practice"? I have no clue. The current KPTBL_PAGE_ORDER (==1) supports about 3.5MB, which isn't much for a multi-GB system. I need KPTBL_PAGE_ORDER==2 to run both lockmeter and the "reflex" benchmark that creates 256 cloned threads. John Hawkes
