发帖数: 135 | 1 Hi, I met a strange problem.
I have a simulation program. I wrote it on Linux using gcc.
I worked very well. Since I have only 1GB ram memory, whenever
it needs more memory, it uses swap. I also run this on a server
having 4GB ram. Everything was smooth.
After my system failure (hardware), I decided to install FreeBSD
because the Linux fedora distributions are getting worse, and
RHLE are charging money, and tired of suse....
I used FreeBSD 4.10, 4.11, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 (a week of installying

发帖数: 135 | 4 It should be unlimited, since freeBDS can recongnize 1.5GB (I borrowed
one stick from a friend). But still the program cannot go beyond 1GB or so.
For the case of 1.5GB ram, it does not use swap before segment fault.

发帖数: 73 | 5 If you try "ulimit -a" under bash, you will see something like
data seg size (kbytes, -d) 524288
That is the maximum data memory one process can use.
To tune it, add
kern.maxdsiz="1610612736"
to /boot/loader.conf and reboot.

terminator until I saw royale.)

发帖数: 135 | 7 Royale, how large this kern.maxsiz value can be?
The number you give here is 1.5GB. However, when
I was a little bit greedy after trying this number,
I put in 8GB (2^??) as the value for it. However,
the system refused to boot.
So what is the largest number it can be? I am think
of 4GB simulations.
By the way, I do not know how to fix the problem when
it refused to reboot, so reinstalling again. Is there
a better way to change the number after the system
fails to boot up?

发帖数: 73 | 8 How much memory do you have? Don't go beyond that number.
If your program has memory leak, your system will be in trouble.
Can you boot to single user mode?
You don't need to reinstall system, at least you can use a FreeSBIE CD.

choose the second item in the following menu, you will get a
shell. then you can mount the disk to modify any files.

发帖数: 135 | 10 I have 1.25GB (0.5 + 0.5 + 0.256) now, and I set the maxdsiz to 2GB.
I have 4GB swap. I was thinking of larger than 4GB program. My boss
asked me to buy 2GB more memory (the motherboard supports up to 2.5G)
so I will remove two sticks to make room for the 1GB sticks.
Do you mean if I have larger physical memory then I can have larger
maxdsiz? I am worrying if the system can give all the memory and
some swap to my program.
Thanks!

发帖数: 135 | 11 Oh, I see... If I knew this I could have saved a lot of time and trouble!
Thanks a lot!
