Hi, I have a box with 1gig ram which i am using as my mysql server. however when i try to assig about 600megs to the innodb buffer pool it reports that,
InnoDB: Fatal error: cannot allocate 524304384 bytes of InnoDB: memory with malloc! Total allocated memory InnoDB: by InnoDB 21180112 bytes. Operating system errno: 12 InnoDB: Cannot continue operation! InnoDB: Check if you should increase the swap file or InnoDB: ulimits of your operating system. 011204 15:09:49 mysqld ended my ulimits are set to unlimited and top tells me, Mem: 5468K Active, 11M Inact, 18M Wired, 10M Buf, 969M Free Any ideas why it won't take the memory I assign it?
