Can I compile a hugemem kernel?

2007-03-08 Thread Andrew Perrin
Greetings- I seem to have developed a need for a single process (R) to use more than 3G of RAM. The system has 6G, and is doing virtually nothing else. Is there a way to compile 2.6.18 or higher with the so-called hugemem patch under debian? Thanks.

I was unable to compile madwifi under 2.6.24 either - my best guess is a problem with the madwifi source that needs fixing under 2.6.24, but I wasn't wedded to it so I just reverted to 2.6.22. Sorry not to be more specific. Andy

Re: How does inetd work?

My understanding is that it depends upon the type of connection. A dgram ("nowait") server is spawned separately and the socket is passed, while a wait server is passed stdin, stdout, and stderr and managed through inetd. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-inetd.h
