MPlayer exceeding maxssiz

[Saurav Sarkar]

hi all,
I have compiled and installed mplayer on my HP-Ux 11.00 machine with 256 MB memory and
swap space as follows:
Kb Kb Kb PCT START/ Kb
TYPE AVAIL USED FREE USED LIMIT RESERVE PRI NAME
dev 524288 0 524288 0% 0 - 1 /dev/vg00/lvol2
dev 409600 119184 290416 29% 0 - 0 /dev/vg00/lvol9
reserve - 307116 -307116
memory 174432 26612 147820 15%
total 1108320 452912 655408 41% - 0 -
However when I try to run mplayer, the machine freezes for a long time before getting a segment violation because of insufficient swap space/mplayer exceeding maxssiz. I have since then increased my maxssiz to upto 256 MB without getting any result. Current values are as follows:
Name Value(Bytes)
maxssiz 83570688
maxssiz_64bit 268435456
maxtsiz 1073741824
maxtsiz_64bit 4294967296
maxdsiz 3221225472
maxdsiz_64bit 17179869184
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Hi

regenerate your kernel with kernel parameter

swapmem_on set to 0

With so little memory you do not need it.

Then try

Also,
Is the mplayer executable a 32 bit application.

Then you should increase maxssiz and not maxssiz_64

Just do a

#file

to check the 32 bit or 64 bit executable


Thanks

Hi,

You may need to change the stack size in the shell...if you are using the posix shell for example:

# ulimit -a|grep stack
stack(kbytes) 8192
# ulimit -s 16384
# ulimit -a|grep stack
stack(kbytes) 16384

Regards,

James.

Well, setting swapmem_on to 0 doesn't help. Also the result of ulimit -s is 81612. I don't know how to increase it further. I have tried ulimit -Hs and ulimit -Ss but the value doesn't increase any more.

In your case
maxssiz/1024=83570688/1024=81162
and ulimit -S shows the same value! You can just increase maxssiz + relink kernel + reboot. To make it simple I used for this
su - root
sam -> Kernel Configuration -> Configurable Parameters
