Hi all,
I need to compile certain big softare and want to do this as user, I am
hitting memory limits, e.g:
../../js/src/libjs_static.a: could not read symbols: Memory exhausted
I read in various post and man pages, but am a little confused.
First thing, I added my user to the "staff" group, which should have
increased limits, but they are not enough.
$ groups
staff wheel wsrc
in login.conf, I have:
default:\
:path=/usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/X11R6/bin
/usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin:\
:umask=022:\
:datasize-max=2048M:\
:datasize-cur=1024M:\
:maxproc-max=256:\
:maxproc-cur=128:\
:openfiles-cur=512:\
:stacksize-cur=4M:\
:localcipher=blowfish,a:\
:tc=auth-defaults:\
:tc=auth-ftp-defaults:
staff:\
:datasize-cur=2048M:\
:datasize-max=infinity:\
:maxproc-max=512:\
:maxproc-cur=256:\
:stacksize-cur=32M:\
:ignorenologin:\
:requirehome@:\
:tc=default:
I see this once logged in:
$ ulimit -a
time(cpu-seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
coredump(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) 1325784
stack(kbytes) 4096
lockedmem(kbytes) 3957020
memory(kbytes) 3957020
nofiles(descriptors) 512
processes 128
I suppose that to solve my "memory exhausted" error I need to increase
data and perhaps stack, since memory is already 4GB.
However, if I attempt:
$ ulimit -d 3957016
ksh: ulimit: -d exceeds allowable limit
$ ulimit -d 2097152
ksh: ulimit: -d exceeds allowable limit
can you give me a hint of what am I missing? apparently both
"datasize-max" and "datasize-cur" aren't working, since as default I get 1GB
Thanks.
Riccardo
