Hi, I'm having problems with a Dell R900 with 64 GB RAM. I can't create a 40GB file without Out Of Memory errors, usually followed by a system hang (due to killing init). This only happens with 32bit RHEL, which is what I need, 64bit is okay. The file stops growing at 22GB when the cache memory reaches 22.5GB. This problem doesnt happen with 32GB RAM. Has anyone been able to create a big file on 32bit RHEL on different hardware with 64GB RAM? I used: dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile.delme bs=1k count=$((24*1024*1024)) Cheers Mark. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
