If you manage to fill up 128 GB, you get a cookie. The 2 GB that was reported earlier in this thread is close to the maximum that V8 will allocate. If that's still too much, you can limit the heap size with --max-old-space-size=<x> where <x> is in megabytes. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
