check to prevent such large sizes from crashing X and/or the X Font Server, I'm alarmed by (1) the way the X font server allows itself to be crashed like this, and (2) the way the entire Linux kernel seems to have been unable to handle the situation. While having a central company orSo turn on the features to conrol it. Set rlimits on the xfs server and enable non overcommit (-ac kernel)
I am using SGI's XFS, and I think they follow Marcelo's kernels for the 2.4 series, at the moment. Are there any plans of getting non overcommit from your tree into Marcelo's?
