Really? Seems like 32-bit Sun JVM on Sparc has exactly 64MB max value by default: http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc5.0/gc_tuning_5.html#0.0.0.%20Total%20Heap%7Coutline ...or are we on a higher version of the GC by now? Alan, what happens if you explicitly set your -Xms and -Xmx values? Does the VM listen to you? Are you calling startup.sh or catalina.sh directly when you start up Tomcat, or do you use any other kind of scripting (like ant) or have you installed it as a service (/etc/init.d/tomcat or whatever)? If some other process is starting Tomcat for you, then you can't trust what your bash environment is telling you. -chris > > regards > Leon > > On 10/13/06, Alan Flisch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> I was having some problems with perm gen space on one of our tomcat >> instances and decided to increase the perm gen size and review the >> JAVA_OPTS settings in general when I noticed something curious.
