Hi, An issue on solaris : Anonymous mmap must have a fd set to -1 in order to work (on linux, it is ignored), in alloc_mem_mmap, the fd is set to 1 [.] static int alloc_mem_mmap(struct thread_data *td, size_t total_mem) { int flags = 0; td->mmapfd = 1; if (td->o.mem_type == MEM_MMAPHUGE) { [.] Changing it to -1 makes the code working fine.
