Dear Greg:

Hi.

I need to run large address space jobs using FreeBSD 4.3

I have already upp'ed the available space to about 1.5GB (6 * 256MB).  But that was not enough and
now I would like to go to at least 2GB or perhaps!, 2.5GB.

At present time we have the following params in the kernel config;
MAXDSIZ="(1024*1024*6*256)"
DFLDSIZ="(1024*1024*6*256)"

Also kernel has been slimmed down to exclude any and all unnecessary devices and parameters we are
not using.

Can you help me understand what I need to do.  I am an experienced programmer and this is quite
important to me.

I hope you feel appreciated.  Many people in the FreeBSD community value your service.

My application does not require any graphics or X support.  All I need to do is issue many large
mallocs'.  (Seems so simple, doesn't it.)

Sincerely,
Jules Gilbert
