Hi!
I have an application where I try to allocate memory (with new(C++))
outside the arena.
If I do it before pfInit I am able to get more than 700Mb (thats what I
need), immediately after pfInit I am only
able to get about 140Mb's. If I half the size of the shared and the sema
arena I still can't get more
than 140Mb's and if I half it again (to 64Mb ) I can get almost 700Mb's.
My questions are:
Why can't I allocate more memory with the default sizes (256 Mb)
when the manual says
that the large arenas created doesn't consume disk or swap space until
needed?
Is there a parameter in systune that you can manipulate to get more
allocatable space?

Regards
