It might be a security risk. with your newly compiled hugetlbpages enable kernel, you have to tell kernel how many pages you will need. You can do that manually like echo "64" > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages or you can do insert it into /etc/sysctl.conf file: vm/nr_hugepages = 64 check your /proc/meminfo probably you can see the HugePages entries. - npguy -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
