Hi Iago, This is really a freebsd related question and not MySQL. I believe that the archives contain some info. Anyway you need to build a custom kernel for freebsd see /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT. look for this section: # Certain applications can grow to be larger than the 128M limit # that FreeBSD initially imposes. Below are some options to # allow that limit to grow to 256MB, and can be increased further # with changing the parameters. MAXDSIZ is the maximum that the # limit can be set to, and the DFLDSIZ is the default value for # the limit. MAXSSIZ is the maximum that the stack limit can be # set to. You might want to set the default lower than the max, # and explicitly set the maximum with a shell command for processes # that regularly exceed the limit like INND. # options MAXDSIZ="(256*1024*1024)" options MAXSSIZ="(256*1024*1024)" options DFLDSIZ="(256*1024*1024)"
Add this or use this to create your own kernel. Don't go above 2047*1024*1024 or any threaded program will crash on startup. Hope this helps.
