dmesg

Hi,

Hope someone can help me with this problem. My k class keep giving out this message in dmesg.

vmunix : process pid == 5940 does not have memory
vmunix : locking privileges require for using
vmunix : large text pages in this system version
vmunix : see setprivgrp(1m)

this messages keeps on with the number increasing. Just wondering if its something that requires immediate attention and maybe something which i can reconfigure in the kernel. Thanks

I think that database application (oracle?) running on your system is trying to lock its memory and it's failing as it doesn't have memory locking privileges.

To enable create /etc/privgroup containing the following line (assuming dba is oracle group).

dba MLOCK

Then run

/usr/sbin/setprivgrp -f /etc/privgroup

At next reboot setprivgrp should be automatically run by /sbin/init.d/set_privgrp.

Looks like this is do with database issue with memory privileges.

setprivgrp dba MLOCK

and then add into /etc/privgroup

dba MLOCK

To make it permanent just run /usr/sbin/setprivgrp -f /etc/privgroup

The next time the system boots, it will set it for you.
