I've not had that particular problem. My RAM doesn't get fragmented, I'm just very limited in the amount of memory that can be used by the ARC cache which has a significant impact on my system's performance. > But that system had only 512 MB memory and I made the kernel's VA bigger > than the 512 MB, so it could map twice or three times that. > > But it is a problem when you more memory then you can map (1GB will > probably still work but 2GB is "too big". This here is my problem. I've got 4GB of RAM in the box. It's.... painful. ;) > I've now upgraded the system to an atom board (I don't care all that much > about its performance) but it does run 64 bit. I need to do something similar I believe. -brian -- "Coding in C is like sending a 3 year old to do groceries.
