To quote from the IA32 architecture spec: Sorry... I wasn't being clear. I meant that any splits and/or memory mappings were not enabled by hardware changes. A 32-bit OS could always use linearly accessed memory up to 4GB without any artificial split. Hardware changes might have made it possible to go beyond 4GB (for the OS) and to offer more exotic artificial memory splits (4GB/4GB, for instance). >> Apparently, certain 32-bit versions of Solaris do not have >> this problem, and Java can use as much memory as any process. > > Not sure what the last clause above means, but there are differences in > Solaris on Sparc and Solaris on x86. Certainly. This evidence was anecdotal, and I'm not sure if that particular poster (another list) mentioned their config. Something like "I use 32-bit Solaris and have no such problem". The fact remains that you can't allocate a VM heap bigger than around 1750MB on my 32-bit, 2.6 Linux kernel. Why not? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF+Bas9CaO5/Lv0PARAtXxAKCT6raQLkP8qQcOQzeNM+7r8BTHIwCfQfi3 Gu5ODBHntjJD6Nmm4AujklA= =bFH+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
