Hi Folks! I am running Linux 32 bits (2.6.26.5-bigsmp) on a virtual machine with 64 GB of RAM. When I try to create a large file, for example "dd if=/dev/null of=/tmp/huge.file bs=1024k count=65536" the machine hangs when the file hits 22 GB mark. I instrumented the kernel with the debug options and before the hang I got a message "lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 0". Any hints on how to tune Linux to handle this configuration? Thanks in advance. Edésio P.S.: Switching to a 64 bit kernel is NOT an option. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
