ulimit

[Nicolas Dumeige]

Hello,

Facing ORA-04030 ...
> oerr ora 04030
04030, 00000, "out of process memory when trying to allocate %s bytes (%s,%s)"
// *Cause: Operating system process private memory has been exhausted
// *Action:

... I was wondering the meaning of the 8192 stack limit as listed below.

ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) unlimited
stack(kbytes) 8192
coredump(blocks) unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) 256
vmemory(kbytes) unlimited

Is it low ?

As for the open file descriptor, does sockets count ?

Thans for your help,

Nicolas

Thanks for your interesting links

Specificaly, how the OS deal with the stack size limit and the virtual memory ?

Is a 8192 bytes stack a serious restriction ?
