Hi, I'm considering adding a check for "is there sufficient memory available" to the --mlock switch, to avoid hard and graceless out-of-memory crashes later on (trac #1390).
OpenVPN would refuse to start if "less than <this> amount" is available
(ulimit -l / getrlimit(RLIMIT_MEMLOCK)).
Now I wonder what a good minimum amount might be? My various
long-running openvpn processes seem to consume somewhere between 6 Mbyte
(only 3 clients) and 31 Mbyte (up to 150 concurrent users)... so
requiring something like "50 Mbyte" would be plenty.
If you use --mlock - what do you set your "ulimit -l" (or systemd
LimitMEMLOCK=... value) to? And why?
