Hello,<div><br></div><div>We&#39;re running the Oct2012-SP1 release on Ubuntu 12.04.1.  It&#39;s working great, but we need to constrain its RAM usage because it&#39;s not the only process running on its machine.</div><div>
<br></div><div>From the mailing list archives, it looks like ulimit is the recommended way of doing this, but we haven&#39;t been able to get it to do what we want.</div><div><br></div><div>Specifically, we&#39;ve tried:</div>
<div><br></div><div>ulimit -Sm (max resident set size)</div><div>ulimit -Sv (max virtual memory)</div><div><br></div><div>Limiting the resident set size doesn&#39;t seem to have an effect - the mserver5 process&#39;s resident size seems to grow freely.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Limiting the virtual memory does in fact manage to keep mserver5 from consuming more than the allocated amount, however when mserver5 hits the limit, it just crashes (which is what I would have expected based on <a href="http://www.monetdb.org/Documentation/UserGuide/resources">this document</a>).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Our next step is to look at <a href="http://lxc.sourceforge.net/">Linux Containers</a>, but before going that route I figured I&#39;d check and see how other folks have handled this.</div><div><br></div>
<div>Thanks in advance,</div><div>Percy</div><div><br><div><br></div><div><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><br><div>Percy Wegmann</div><div>+1 512 637 8500 ext 148</div><br>
