Re: help increase process/kernel memory please

I'm running a Perl app that need lots of memory and I would like to make around 2G available to it, the box has 4G physical RAM.

Which knob(s) should be tweaked? System is running 6-STABLE from around 1st of October.

This is what I see when the process exits:
Out of memory during "large" request for 528384 bytes, total sbrk() is 536416256 bytes

I'm depending on a solution to this and would be a really happy person if someone could please guide me.

What does 'ulimit -a' as the user running the process say?

If the problem is apparent there, the associated docs should help.

Hmmm, ulimit is a sh command, I was using tcsh. The below is after the advise from Tom Judge to set "kern.maxdsiz="1610612736". I will try from here, thanks.

$ ulimit -a
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
file size (512-blocks, -f) unlimited
data seg size (kbytes, -d) 1572864
stack size (kbytes, -s) 65536
core file size (512-blocks, -c) unlimited
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 5547
open files (-n) 11095
virtual mem size (kbytes, -v) unlimited
sbsize (bytes, -b) unlimited
