Memory caps are super useful, but they do have a few issues. The biggest issue is that shared memory is not accounted for properly, so processes that use shared memory can suck up more memory that the amount configured in the memory cap. The second issue is that you can’t use memory caps in the global zone to limit how much memory is used in a local zone. Both of these issues are being worked on by Sun (I once read something, I cannot verify this). See docs.sun.com - maybe. -- %martin _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
