Highmem Bigmem question
Hello All, This is probably an FAQ, but I read the FAQ and its not in there. I have a machine with 2G of memory. I compiled the kernel with the 4G memory option. How much address space should each process be able to address? Does this change if I use the 64G option? I'm after 2.4 information. Right now I am running on a 2.2 kernel and it looks like the user processes are limited to ~1G. Thanks, Jim - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
