I am having a problem with streams that keep increasing and increasing
until we start getting WARNING: allocb failed - NSTRPAGES exceeded and
eventually the server is locking up. This server worked fine until they
moved recently to a new physical location (moved the entire operation
to a new building). There is also 2 backup servers that seem to have
the streams running away as well so I suspect there is a problem with
some device or something on the new network. So I'm hoping there is a
way to track what is spawning streams so we can locate the source of
the problem. I apologize in advance if I dont provide enough
information, if that happens please let me know what else you need and
I will add it to the thread as quickly as possible. Here is some
information about the system.
