Hi Peter: Thanks. I set
echo "60000000" >/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax because the segment to allocate was ca 39mb. In between the rows reporting the steady approach to scf energy, a row appeared: 1 warning: armci set_mem_offset: offset changed 0 to 8192 and the calculation of partial charges completed successfully. As to a permanent solution, is any drawback in setting shmmax as above (or even to a higher value) permanently? Probably this issue of allocating big fragments will become routine, though I can't predict their size. francesco --- Peter Schueller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Francesco Pietra wrote: > > QUESTIONS: > > 1) How to set shmmax in debian? > > for experiments i suggest: > > echo "10000000" >/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax > > for a permanent solution you have to edit > /etc/sysctl.conf where you will be able to put a > line like > > kernel.shmmax = 1000000 > > (have a look at man sysctl.conf) > > But I don't know if this will work in your cluster > ... > > Best Regards, > > Peter > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
