Then i place my bet on the terminal alone.
Linux is able to handle disk-to-disk copies that are larger than the
available memory. This is a standard use case.
How large was it set when your runs caused the OOM killer to act ?
different terminal, xfce4's is apparently unlimited but can't find it in the
config prefs.
I normally start new xterms by
xterm -ls -geometry 80x24 -bg wheat -fg black -sl 10000 +sb &
The -sl option gives the number of lines to be memorized for scrollback.
Black-on-wheat is a calmative color combination which does not overwork
the eyes.
Thank you, I did not know that.
Have a nice day :)
