Hi all,
Customer is trying to analyze an application core file, but mdb sleeps with this message :
sivlmwbihbt-root# mdb /cognobim/appli/produits/cognos10/bin/BIBusTKServerMain core
[ sleeping for 1024 bytes of free memory ... ]
It seems that mdb is asking for a lot of memory ( till 12GB ), stops and tries again until 4GB, and then writes the message
PID USERNAME SIZE RSS STATE PRI NICE TIME CPU PROCESS/NLWP
20753 root 12G 12G CPU24 10 0 0:00:23 2.1% mdb/1
A few seconds later, when mdb output says sleeping... :
PID USERNAME SIZE RSS STATE PRI NICE TIME CPU PROCESS/NLWP
18946 cognobim 528M 491M CPU4 0 0 0:02:09 3.1% BIBusTKServerMa/20
20901 root 4083M 4062M sleep 59 0 0:00:35 1.2% mdb/1
