[Bug 620635] New: ulimit virtual memory too small
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620635 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620635#c0 Summary: ulimit virtual memory too small Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: RC 2 Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jeremy.figgins@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100611 SUSE/3.6.4-3.2 Firefox/3.6.4 The symptom is that when compiling a large software package, I hit "virtual memory exhausted" errors. This is on a 32-bit machine with 512MB physical RAM and a 2GB swap file. "ulimit -v" returns 378080 (or 378MB) and setting the virtual memory higher with "ulimit -v 3780800" allows the compilation to complete. This problem also occurred in RC1. The error message is: [ 41%] Building CXX object src/alps/CMakeFiles/alps.dir/alea/observablefactory.C.o virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory make[2]: *** [src/alps/CMakeFiles/alps.dir/alea/observablefactory.C.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [src/alps/CMakeFiles/alps.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620635 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620635#c1 --- Comment #1 from Jeremy Figgins <jeremy.figgins@gmail.com> 2010-07-09 00:06:42 UTC --- An update to my previous post: The machine is a laptop with 512MB physical RAM, 480MB of which is available to the OS (the other 32MB goes to the video card). Upon first boot, I created a swap file (dd if=/dev/zero of=/swap bs=4k count=512000 && mkswap /swap), inserted it into /etc/fstab, and then turned it on (swapon -a). After doing this, ulimit -a returned 378080. After a reboot, ulimit -a returns the correct amount 2016480. Is there some command that I need to run after "swapon"? Or should the system automatically correct ulimit? The 378MB number doesn't seem to correspond to any of the memories on the system: 2GB swap 512MB physical 480MB available 32MB video memory Where is SuSE getting this number? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
