I did try to reserve out of use 32MB of my 64MB memory for test purposes
with the program
main()
{
char *p;
int i;
p = malloc(10000000);
i = mlock(p,10000000);
sleep(1200);
exit;
}
(Maybe not 100% same, I cannot use the disk at this moment :-( )
And intended to run it 3 times.
I did run it as root one time! This got the whole machine down.
At boot root mount OK, but
fsck: /dev/sd0s1f. No such file or directory Can't stat /dev/sd0s1f
same with /dev/sd01e
mount -a: /dev/sd01f on /home: no such file or directory
same with /dev/sd01e
procfs: I/O error
I have /home and /usr
I did run same program with 1MB memory area and had no problems. It seemed
to reserve the 1MB of RAM.
I promise never to try this again. ;-)
Can I somehow get these partitions mounted?
Seppo
PS. Is there some other safer method to disable big parts of RAM? I wanted
to compare one 32MB Linux machine to my 64MB FreeBSD machine. I think, I
cannot disable RAM in hardware, I have 2*32MB SIMMs.
