Hi,
I guess this has been covered before, but I wasn't able to find an
answer in the list archives (so, sorry if this is kind-of-a-faq)
We're limiting memory on our cluster using /etc/security/limits.conf.
Somehow, this does not apply to submitted jobs, as we've just found
out. I guess the proper way to limit mem in GE is to use s_vmem and
h_vmem - but why does the limits.conf method not work?
Are you having a problem that the limits are not set by SGE, or that they
are not acutally enforced by the OS? I've had a lot of trouble on Linux
systems where the "data" and "rss" settings are ignored. The "as"
limit, however, is enforced.
The manpage for limits.conf mentions this, but not clearly.
Confused,
Arne
