Strand) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: virtual memory limits in NetBSD Date: 1 Nov 1994 18:20:25 GMT Organization: New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM Lines: 21 Distribution: world Message-ID: <3960t9$nfq@dns1.NMSU.Edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: dante.nmsu.edu Hi all, I am trying to run a program which consumes large quantites of memory. The problem comes when the amount of memory consumed exceeds the size of the actual memory available to the system. What I would like to do is raise the virtual memory limit to an amount greater than the amount of RAM installed on the system. Currently, we are running NetBSD 0.9 on a 486 machine with 32M of RAM, the kernel is compiled with MAXDSIZE = (64*1024*1024) and MAXTSIZE = (64*1024*1024) When (running csh) I try to change the hard limits for program data size to a number above 32M, I am not able to. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Allan Strand Dept of Biology New Mexico State University Las Cruces, NM 88003 astrand@nmsu.edu
