I have a java program that is failing because it does something that calls
fork1(), which fails with ENOMEM (confirmed using truss):
27010/2: fork1() Err#12 ENOMEM
I've used both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the JVM. Using the 64-bit
version, I see the heap expand to just over 4GB before it forks:
27010/30: brk(0x107DE3D90) = 0
I have almost 160 GB of swap space:
$ swap -s
total: 806336k bytes allocated + 167872k reserved = 974208k used,
159746184k available
It doesn't seem like it can possibly be running out of swap space.
What other reasons would cause fork1() to fail with ENOMEM?

The vm system is rather fond of using ENOMEM as a generic error bucket.
If you have a way of reproducing the problem, a bit of DTrace will quickly turn
up the reason. I assume it's only the 32 bit version
that is failing to fork, right?
Sorry, I wasn't clear. The 64-bit version fails as well. With the 32-bit
version I limit the Java heap to 2GB. It doesn't run out of heap, but the
fork fails.
I'm sure dtrace will solve every problem I have, but I don't know how
to use it to solve this problem! :-( Hints?

Hi,
Please excuse me for getting into the discussion.
I think in solaris 10 the /tmp file is place by default in swap, if /tmp is full
it may give that error.
I found an article on that theory.
http://nilesh-joshi.blogspot.com/2010/03/tmp-file-system-full-swap-space-limit.html
/tmp isn't full:
$ df -h /tmp
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
swap 152G 384K 152G 1% /tmp
It's hard to tell if it runs out of space during the execution of the process
but I doubt it. I don't get any console messages saying the filesystem is
full.
