Studio Rendering Issue / Memory Swap Settings On Irix (2)

Archived
1

Hi Guys,

I need to re-render some Alias Studio models on an Octane System for a Client.

Unfortunately, the models are so large they cause the system to crash.

A friend more conversant with the UNIX/IRIX technologies told me I needed to add a line in the
/etc/fstab file to add additional swap and virtual swap memory at startup.

I would like to add 8gb swap and 8gb vswap to /dev/swap at startup.

Can anyone help with the correct configuration string?

Thanks,

flexo

here you go:

Add swap space: "/usr/sbin/mkfile 4g /dev/swap2; /sbin/swap -a /dev/swap2; nedit /etc/fstab" and add the line "/dev/swap2 swap swap pri=3 0 0" in your /etc/fstab.

Exports/mounts: "nedit /etc/exports"
