Hi all,

on a Linux PC (Intel) the maximum arena size we can allocate with
pfSharedArenaSize() is about 950 MB.If we try larger sizes, we get the
following error:

PF Warning/Internal: perror: Success
PF Warning/SysErr: Could not mmap file /usr/tmp/pfClock.5343.pfdpool
for arena of size 50224
PF Warning/Internal: perror: Resource temporarily unavailable
PF Warning/SysErr(11): Could not mmap file /usr/tmp/pfClock.5343.pfdpool
for arena of size 49152

As this 950 MB is not enough for the application, I wonder if it is
possible to get it larger. Is the max. adress space on a intel computer
with Linux 2 GB or 4 GB? Why is the arena size limited to about 1 GB?

Thanks for any explaination and Best Regards
Daniela
