Does anyone know how to change or view the maximum process size ?
There is no soft maximum unless you set one using ulimit. Hard maximum is 512GB right now.
The maximum process size for a 64-bit process is 512GB. The maximum process size for a 32-bit process on a 64-bit machine is 4GB (2GB on a 32-bit machine with a stock kernel, since Linux reserves 1/2 the virtual memory). However, both can be limited further by the amount of swap that you have. The swap available can change from instant to instant, and I don't know of any easy way (programatically) to find out how much is available at any given instant. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
