increasing qemu memory
I need to run qemu with 20G ram for development reasons
I added myself to staff users, edited login.conf for unlimited values, log out/log back in and still can't change /bin/ksh ulimit -d unlimited it's fixed on a max amount. Qemu will only start with max 512m ram. My system has 32G and nothing except base + qemu package installed. Tried changing ulimit -d in bsh was also getting the 'exceeds limits' error. Anybody else have this problem? Do I have to make a malloc.conf memory entry or something |

You did try to set memory size with
qemu -m xyz ? Just making sure...

I've installed obsd 5.3 amd64 (generic.mp) on a AMD II X4 965 processor
I can start qemu with up to 5G memory now then it throws unable to allocate memory error. Code:
$ulimit -a time(cpu-seconds) unlimited file(blocks) unlimited coredump(blocks) unlimited data(kbytes) 8388608 stack(kbytes) 4096 lockedmem(kbytes) 10878357 memory (kbytes) 32632104 nofiles(descriptors) 512 processes 1310 $ulimit unlimited Last edited by discorder; 4th May 2013 at 09:43 PM.

Code:
memory (kbytes) 32632104 As to your apparent 5GB limit, I would look to determine how much virtual memory is available between available RAM and swap, as the allocations must come from somewhere. Once you have confirmed that physical memory and swap space are not the reason for the limit, I recommend reaching out via Email. You should contact either Brad Smith, who is the port maintainer for emulators/qemu, or more generally ask the larger OpenBSD community on the ports@ OpenBSD mailing list. Unfortunately, this forum is relatively small and no one else has chimed in with any assistance. --- (When I was doing Android builds, I used an Asus notebook with a 32-bit only Atom CPU and 1GB of RAM. Are you sure you need so many GB of memory?) Last edited by jggimi; 6th May 2013 at 12:56 PM. |
