Bit sad replying to myself again....:-) Anyway - no it does not... still 512M A bit of grepping through the 4.9 source finds that the beast controlling all this is: $ grep MAXDSIZ /usr/src/sys/i386/include/vmparam.h #ifndef MAXDSIZ #define MAXDSIZ (512UL*1024*1024) /* max data size */ so is there any reason *not* to amend this and recompile? e.g. #define MAXDSIZ (1024UL*1024*1024) /* max data size now 1G */ any opinions out there? regards Mark Mark Kirkwood replied to himself: > I should have mentioned that I built the kernel when the machine had > either 512M or 1G of ram, and have subsequently added another 1G. > Would rebuilding the kernel result in this limit being recalculated? > >
