[Orca-users] RE: Problem with LARGE data values displayed in Orca 0.23

[Sean O'Neill]

From: "Sean O'Neill" <sean.oneill at appnet.com>

Below are partial listings (lots of data).

- The pp_kernel column changed but the size of the number stayed constant
throughout the listing.

# /usr/local/orca/bin/orcallator_column -c pagestotl -c pp_kernel -c
free_pages orcallator-*
              Machine  locltime pagestotl pp_kernel free_pages
orcallator-1999-08-06  07:35:00 255067.00 4294945675.00   4171.00
orcallator-1999-08-06  07:40:00 255067.00 4294945675.00   4188.00
orcallator-1999-08-06  07:45:00 255067.00 4294945655.00   4060.00
orcallator-1999-08-06  07:50:00 255067.00 4294945659.00   4034.00
orcallator-1999-08-06  07:55:00 255067.00 4294945674.00   4070.00
orcallator-1999-08-06  08:00:00 255067.00 4294945671.00   4073.00
orcallator-1999-08-06  08:05:00 255067.00 4294945682.00   4076.00
orcallator-1999-08-06  08:10:00 255067.00 4294945686.00   4099.00

- The nfs_call/s column was zero except for the two data listings below.
Like I said in my previous post, this system is an NFS client not a server
(whether that is important or not I'm not sure).

# /usr/local/orca/bin/orcallator_column -c nfs_call/s orcallator-*
              Machine  locltime nfs_call/s
orcallator-1999-08-05  08:45:00      0.00
orcallator-1999-08-05  08:50:00      0.00
orcallator-1999-08-05  08:55:01 727718711.28
orcallator-1999-08-05  09:00:00      0.00
orcallator-1999-08-05  09:05:00      0.00
orcallator-1999-08-05  09:10:00 1145324612.27
orcallator-1999-08-05  09:15:00      0.00
orcallator-1999-08-05  09:20:00      0.00

Since these files were generated by orcallator.se this looks like its an SE
Toolkit or orcallator.se file problem ??
