Would that work, too? That would definitely make the tests run, but I'm worried about reproducibility. If you want to re-run a failed test on a different machine, this introduces a new variable, the host's page size, which might be different between the machines. Or, if you want to look it another way, another configuration knob that the user has to be aware of and control. Unless there's a system out there that doesn't support 4K pages, I'm in favour of having 4K the default. Thanks, Alex > > Thomas > >
