[Orca-users] MPXIO problem?

[J. Kyle Cummings III]

I finally got this problem stabilized.  I ended up with the following
values in the orcallator.se file:

#define MAX_COLUMNS   4096

#define MAX_RAWDISKS  4096

The period between crashes got longer and longer and now it seems stable. 
I will post if this crops up again.

I am getting ready to install this on a new Sun Fire 6800 server so these
numbers might have to get larger.

Thanks for the help!
