Hi all.
I experiment qemu problems while playing with emulators/virtual machines ...
When I try to create any virtual machines with x86_64 or i 386 hardware and
more than 256Mo ram that fail.
Qemu returns "Cannot allocate memory".
I tryied to modify login.conf & ulimits values, but this still fail.
I randomly ... YES RANDOMLY .... discover ram values are limited to exact
values between : 256 & 512Mo ram allocable ...no more ... no less... on a test
setup with the laptop.
How I discoverd that ?
like this :
$ M=2048
$ while : ; do qeum-system-i386 -m $M ; M=$(( $M - 1 )) ; echo $M ; done ;
unset M
So I let this run until VM starts, then I look the last $M value.
Qemu documentation says ram limit is 2047Mo for both i386 & x86_64
Anyway.... Qemu with ram values between 512 & 846 are just working very fine
...
Can check my actual setup in attached file. On this machine Qemu machines ram
is limited to 256Mo (with no modifications of ulimits neither in login.conf
I don't understand where is the problem. This doesn't seem to cause any hangs,
bugs or warning in "system" log files...
Any help or Ideas about that ?
FYI : any other hardware emulated seems to work with its own maximum supported
ram
for example :
$ qemu-system-sparc -machine SS-20 -smp 4 -m 768
just works fine on same machine...
Max values I have tried in login.conf were :
default:\
:path=/usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/local/bin
/usr/local/sbin:\
:umask=022:\
