Is anybody out there pushing the memory limits ( for shared memory )
with DB2 version 8 on LINUX. The Advanced Admin IBM Press Book
claims that kernel 2.4 can only grab 1.75 GB. We have just gotten
RedHat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 ( kernel 2.4.21-9.0.1.ELcustom)
and just by trying sizes, it looks like it can address an eyelash
smaller than 4 GB. I don't know if I should trust it for production
use. Does anybody have experience with that? I just don't trust it
yet.

With SuSE SLES 8 service pack 2 and DB2 v8.1 FixPak 2 or later, extra
memory can be used for bufferpools for a maximum of about 2.2GB.
If you want to use more memory, buy a 64-bit AMD or Intel chip - DB2
Linux supports 64-bit memory addressabiltiy on both of those platforms.

Blair,
That makes complete sense to me, but our management isn't very
interested in 64 bit computing yet. Painful.
Well if anyone else is seeing upwards of 3.5GB bufferpools on 32 bit
Intel machines running LINUX, I'd like to hear about it.

We run DB2 on Red Hat AS 2.1. The maximum buffer pool size per instance is
slightly less than 2G. That's sufficient for most databases. You can always
configure extended storage, if you need more.
I have not used AS 3.0. Maybe the limit has been increased in this release.

I have ES 3.0, but do not have DB2 installed (I have only DB2 V6.1, and
I know I will have real dependency problems with it were I to try). When
I read Red Hat stuff, I infer that each process should be able to access
3.7 to 3.8 GBytes provided you have enough real memory and a chipset
(e.g., Intel E7501) to support it. https://www.redhat.com/apps/WebForm/...paperfinal.pdf
implies it, but this link may require registration to see it.

The database is 25GB big, but from that maybe 50% is current data. My issue
is that we are noticing that DB2 is only using about 100-150mb of RAM on the
server. This is a productrion machine with 50-75 of transactions a minute
on the database. Now flaming me about using W2k as the OS, we have running

Hi!
I'm writing a small piece of software that basically runs on an
embedded system with a Power-PC cpu. This runs on a stripped down
version of Linux - Busybox.
As I'm writing a piece of code that basically acts as a server and
that will be running for weeks or months and probably even longer,
memory management is a topic that is quite crucial.

2) Use which command to do this (top, or free)

When a process is started three segments are created :
1) Text.
2) Stack.
3) Data.
The size of First two is fixed and their upperlimit is fixed by the
compiler. (Plz correct if i'm wrong)
Now The Data Segment : at the start it's size is small but as the
process goes on and requires Dynamic Memory allocation, its size
increases.

I'm running a Python job on OS X 10.5.3 and the Python 2.5.2 that's available as a binary download at python.org for OS X.
I ran a python program tonight that ended up using much more memory than anticipated. It just kept on using more and more memory. Instead of killing it, I just watched it, using Activity Monitor. I assumed that when it had 2GB allocated it would blow up, because I thought 32-bit python could only address 2GB.
