Hello, I run CentOS 5.6 on a Dell PowerEdge R815 with 256 GB of RAM. We use Sun Grid Engine to schedule jobs on this node. I want to limit the memory usage about 150 GB per process.So i use the /etc/security/limits.conf configuration file. I test this configuration with some tools with a lower GB limit (about 2 or 4 GB), and it works !
But, at least one process (oases - a bioinformatics tool) bypass this limitation and use always 240 GB of memory (the last run) !!
/etc/security/limits.conf ... # * hard rss 150000000 * soft rss 150000000 # * hard as 150000000 * soft as 150000000 # ... # uname -r 2.6.18-238.9.1.el5.centos.plus Any idea ?
