altering "maxdsiz" or "datasize" limit ?
Hello, We've been satisfied FreeBSD users for several years at our hosting company. Recently we ran into into a problem where a long running cron script was dying early because it is hitting FreeBSD's data segment size limit of 512 Megs, even though the machine has plenty more memory. I would like to raise this limit, and am currently using FreeBSD 6.2. When I researched this, I first found references to tuning "maxdsiz" in loader.conf, then some pointed out what I found myself this variable is no longer documented and perhaps no longer present in FreeBSD 6.2. I also found that it appears you can report on it and change it with the "limits" command: limits -d 1g That appears to work in the sense that the command is allowed and no error is returned, but then if I run a follow up "limits" report again, I see that no change is reported to have happened. So, how I can actually increase this limit? (Both immediately and persisting through a reboot). Thanks!
