It's a bit of both. A 32 bit cannot address more than 4GB; some of what an application needs to address is outside userspace, but it still needs to address it. There used to be a hugemem kernel (or something like that) that would allow an application to address more data in userspace, but not in RHEL5. The "patch" is to install a 64 bit OS. If you must run in a 32 bit JRE then you'll be able to have 3500MB for the JRE, if not then you'll be able to have whatever the maximum the OS is prepared to support. It's worth pointing out that running large apps in a 32 bit OS is fraught with problems: running out of memory, for example, even when you appear to have loads available. You're really much better off running a 64 bit OS. jch _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
