Low stack space on SYS: ?
« on: November 21, 2003, 09:36:03 AM »
I been stuck with an strange issue I liek to get verified.

My boot sys: (FFS) partision only have 300 bytes of stack, while my other volumes (SFS) have 4k..

Is this normal, and could this explain unstability ?

How could I add more stack space ?

Im using stackwatch tool from aminet to monitor stack usage.

I have debugged my libs: startup-sequence and such and disabled various hacks and done the usual debug approach to exclude they as "ustabilators"

I did wonder why my HD0: (FFS) had such low stack space..

But, if this is normal I keep looking into other possible reasons.

Thanks for the verification about the low stack space.

I guess I should look elsewhere.

Hi T1gha

300 buffers for FFS, is too much AFAIK.

FFS (OS3.9 and newer) needs 80/100 buffers as well.

PFS and SFS if you have some RAM, works fine with 300/400 (max 600).

Humz, I belive my SYS: is about 1 G.
I have tons of ram (Running Amithlon), so whats an good value here ?
