Re: Out of memory and inactive memory

I'm new to BSD, but I did search around in archives and I think I learned that inactive memory is only kept around in case it is needed again and should be given to a process needing it. So why does Zope fail here? Do you happen to have a per-process data size limit? What does ulimit -a or limit show? The former is for sh or bash, the latter for csh or tcsh.

RE: Out of memory and inactive memory
Do you happen to have a per-process data size limit? What does Hey, thanks, that could be it. It says datasize limit = 130 Mbyte sort of where the process stopped working. Is there a way to change this setting on a global scale? I.e. if I limit datasize unlimited, it seems that only works for the current session.

Provided it doesn't get set explicitly by a 'ulimit' or 'limit' command in some shell start-up script the datasize limit could be set in '/etc/login.conf'. If you change anything in there don't forget to run 'cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf' in order to re-generate the corresponding database file.
