If so, maybe it just can't > find a big-enough chunk? It needs to be contiguous in the virtual space of the process, not in RAM. The Xmx size of heap virtual space is allocated during JVM initialization, so if it gets past initialization, it's not a problem. The OOM killer only gets in the game when the real memory requirements of all processes combined exceed the amount of RAM plus swapfile. Again, it sure looks like -Xmx=6G is too large for the system, when combined with everything else going on in that process and the rest of the system. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
