Before I go wading through obscure portions of the manual, I wonder if
someone could briefly describe these two functions. I am trying to
determine the reason that an Altos 1000 running Altos UNIX V has become a
dog after new application software was loaded.
One of the SAR reports indicates that there is a disk bottleneck and the
man page suggests 1) set sticky bits; 2) balance the disk load
(impractical because all users run the same application software); 3)
use ltmp; 4) run dcopy.
I've never heard of ltmp and dcopy. Are they well documented commands
and I should just RTM, or are they esoteric black holes - waiting for an
unsuspecting soul to stumble into an abyss of guru mumbo jumbo?
I don't mind *jumping* into a black hole once in a while - as long as I
have a light and a reasonable basis for believing it isn't bottomless.
8^)
Thanks for any suggestions.
