i apologize if this is way off-topic but noone i asked in my
whereabounds would help: what is the maximum task size for 2.4.x on a
i386 box and how do i change it (if possible)?
i have processes that have to be really over 1gb (database engines) but
unfortnately, when one reaches over 900mb kswapd starts eating 50+% of 1
cpu and the whole thing gets slower.
so i tried to decrease __PAGE_OFFSET in include/asm-i386/page.h to
0x80000000 which as i learned should increase the task limit to ~2gb, but
the kernel _won't even boot_ (halts right after lilo loads it, no output
is written).
the machine is 8xp3 xeon, 4gb ram, kernel 2.4.1-ac10, CONFIG_HIGHMEM
and CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G are set.
thank you for any help on this,
