Hello, I have a question about ulimit when I do ulimit -m 32000 by example, it works, total memory allocated is 32000 kb but when I do ulimit -v 32000 to allocate more virtual memory it says: ulimit: cannot raise limit: Invalid argument I don't understand why... Here is my ulimit -a core file size (blocks) unlimited data seg size (kbytes) 8192 file size (blocks) unlimited max memory size (kbytes) unlimited stack size (kbytes) 8192 cpu time (seconds) 5400 max user processes 531 pipe size (512 bytes) 1 open files 1064 virtual memory (kbytes) 16384 I need to allocate more virtual memory because when I tried to compile a program it said virtual memory exhausted For information, I have 13 Mb free of 256 Mb total of memory 244 kb swap used of 800 mb total I'm running FreeBSD 4.3 Stable Thank you for helping me.
