It's when the application is using more than those user-space limits, let alone the _hard_ 32-bit/4GiB limit, that you've at least have to modify how it is built, if not select interaction in the code itself (such as between major modules).
Exactly. There are some 32-bit applications that do explicitly user more than the 4GB. These would include database servers and CAD applications.
Does anyone know _how_ this is done? I.e. which kernel interface or library do they use? This functionality must be coming from somewhere. Bryan mentioned Oracle (obviously closed-source), but surely a publicly available kernel interface could benefit other open-source applications. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
