Nothing artificial about it - in production, I can run many more postfix instances on 32bit than on 64bit. I have been doing this for more than ten years. In this environment, I haven't noticed any drawbacks of i586, but please do enlighten me.
So.. what's so special about postfix in this case ? there is an scalability problem.. that someone may be able to look at. This is not a reason to keep the i586 builds around, it is a reason to investigate why you can't do that in the 64bit version.
The 64bit version uses up more memory, that's all.
While indeed the size of pointer is bigger and that may/will have an impact in memory consumption.. Your problem looks very suspicious to me.. when it was the last time you tried to do this ?
(apologies for the delay in responding, it's been a very busy week). Last time - dunno, probably 3-4 years. I distinctly remember wanting to move up to 64bit away from PAE.
in which openSUSE version,
No idea. Maybe 11/12-something.
postfix version
Currently 2.11.x - back then whatever was the newest. Built from source.
and kernel version ?
Dunno.
ohh and what is the amount of postfix instances that the 32 bit machine can run vs the 64 bit one ? did you tried memory compression ?
I don't remember the numbers, something like 2000 on the 32bit machine vs 1200-1500 on the 64bit. Probably 4Gb or 8gb memory at the time. I'm really not sure, I didn't take any notes. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
