Public bug reported: In Hardy, ulimit -m does not (seem to) set a hard limit on the resident set size. This is documentation bug.
On Hardy: man bash gives -m the maximum resident set size On Fedora8: man bash gives -m The maximum resident set size (has no effect on Linux) bash 4 document says: -m The maximum resident set size (many systems do not honor this limit) There is a discussion about ulimit -m and what is does and doesn't do for the 2.4 kernel at least at http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/2002-07/msg00131.html ** Affects: bash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- ulimit -m documentation incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378595 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
