On (26/03/08 10:05), Luck, Tony didst pronounce:It's a lot more likely to succeed since 2.6.24 than it has in the past. On workloads where it is mainly user data that is occuping memory, the chances are even better. If min_free_kbytes is hugepage_size*num_online_nodes(), it becomes a harder again to fragment memory. If it was found to be a problem and normal anti-frag is not coping for hugepage pool resizes, then specify movablecore=MAX_POSSIBLE_POOL_SIZE_YOU_WOULD_NEED on the command-line and the hugepage pool will be able to expand to that side independent of workload. This would avoid the need to scheduled regular reboots. -- Mel Gorman Part-time Phd Student Linux Technology Center University of Limerick IBM Dublin Software Lab --
