The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SCO Unix Network Hang

Asked by US-IT in SCO Unix, Unix Operating Systems

Tags: UNIX, SCO OpenServer, 5.0.7

Hi All,
We have a SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 server in our office. Lately (past week) it has been hanging very roughly every 12 hours, and I need to reboot. The reboot seems to clear it up, and it runs fine, for a while.  We have 2 remote NFS shares mounted to the local file system, and the box also serves several samba shares. When the system begins to hang, these become unreachable (NFS shares from SCO, Samba shares from remote systems). We have about 50 users logging in at a time to our foxbase applications. Sometimes (I think if not rebooted quick enough) it stops responding to any network protocol (ssh, telnet, etc.).

Here is the netstat -m from before the last reboot (this was fairly deep into the hang)

I get this error message repeated quite a bit:
WARNING: allocb failed - NSTRPAGES exceeded


I am out of ideas where to look next, any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
