Subject:   highest value for limits?
Message-ID:  <20020321091355.A15164@trefle.ens.fr>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Process limit maximums are defined in
  /usr/src/sys/i386/include/vmparam.h

For instance, I read:

  #define MAXTSIZ         (128UL*1024*1024)
  #define MAXDSIZ         (512UL*1024*1024)
  #define MAXSSIZ         (64UL*1024*1024)

What are the highest values? For instance, on a
machine with 2 Gb, setting MAXDSIZ to 512 Mb
is poor! I tried 8 Gb, it failed. So what are
the highest limits? Is it OS dependent, or
hardware dependent?
