Thanks, Roman, options MAXDSIZ=(256*1024*1024) options MAXSSIZ=(256*1024*1024) options DFLDSIZ=(256*1024*1024) Depending on what you're doing, you might well find using a 64-bit platform (Alpha hardware? Solaris on SPARC?) to be more appropriate... Which file

Thanks for all of your replies, Now I can do it through recompiling the kernel and the limits did increase. I haven't tried whether it can increase over 2G (I would love that if it can!). The code I used cannot be easily changed to reduce memory consumption but I think 2G would probably be

Thanks, Chuck, Which file should I put in the following ? Frank 32-bit systems implementing VM typically could increase user-mode address space up to 2 GB, although variants on that and other things (ie, where devices get mapped into memory) make that only an approximation. For FreeBSD: #
