unable to execute cpio error with V7 install -- check ulimit
If a customer sees unable to execute cpio errors when trying to
install V7 on UNIX, one place to look is to check what the ulimit is
set to. The default ulimit on some machines is 8192. This is
usually in 512-byte blocks. This works out to 4 meg. If your ulimit
is set to this then you cannot cpio files greater than this size.
Version 7 has some executables that are larger than 4 meg. You can
check the ulimit by typing "ulimit" and pressing <Return>. This will
show you the ulimit. You can set the ulimit by typing:
ulimit 16384
This will set the ulimit to 8 meg.
If you are not logged in as root, you cannot set the ulimit above
the current setting. The system administrator may reset this limit.
This is done differently on all machines. Please check your OS
documentation.
