Hello everyone, I`m running mysql version 4.0.0-alpha under FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE on a dual pentium 4 x 1Ghz with a total memory of 1.5Gb and a scsi hard drive with a volume about 50Gb. The problem is in the InnoDB startup option innodb_buffer_pool_size. I`m trying to set it to about 500MB. When giving this option mysql won`t start and the error log reports that InnoDB cannot allocate requested memory size:
InnoDB: Fatal error: cannot allocate 524304384 bytes of InnoDB: memory with malloc! Total allocated memory InnoDB: by InnoDB 157458980 bytes. Operating system errno: 12 InnoDB: Cannot continue operation! InnoDB: Check if you should increase the swap file or InnoDB: ulimits of your operating system. Here is the output of top: 160 processes: 1 running, 159 sleeping CPU states: 10.3% user, 0.0% nice, 2.1% system, 0.3% interrupt, 87.3% idle Mem: 329M Active, 577M Inact, 137M Wired, 25M Cache, 163M Buf, 638M Free Swap: 3257M Total, 3257M Free Where can i be wrong? --- Best regards, Alexei V.
