[SOLVED] Trying to allocate more ram to /dev/shm

I want to allocate more than 50% ram to '/dev/shm'.
In the wiki it says to edit '/etc/fstab' and add the size parameter but I know that '/etc/fstab' no longer mounts '/dev/shm', '/etc/rc.sysinit' does.
Is it safe to add the '/dev/shm' entry in to '/etc/fstab or should I edit '/etc/rc.sysinit' now?
Thanks for any responses

You should add an entry to /etc/fstab.
rc.sysinit (or systemd) will indeed mount /dev/shm with standard options in early boot, but then rc.sysinit (or systemd) will call /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-remount-fs, which will remount all the api filesystems (such as /dev/shm) that have entries in fstab, with the correct options specified there.

  • How can i allocate more RAM for my onboard video card on a 2011 macbook pro 13 inch running windows 7 via bootcamp

    I noticed that since Macbooks.. macs in general use an EFI instead of BIOS.  . .. Now i need to allocate some more RAM for the onboard video card since its currently running with an estimated 50mb.. I would like to increase this to 512  and cut the 3.95 down to 3.5 MB for the rest of the system ( allowing me to run more graphic intensive games and the such ... ) I know this could slow down the entire system.. ( i am aware of this ) and have gotten a 3rd party application to control and close out uneeded processes during gaming.. I just need more ram for my onboard video card.. Any help?

    You don't allocate more RAM towards your video card, you put more RAM into the machine and hopefully some machines will bump the CPU graphics RAM allocation up a little.
    The problem is you bought a integrated only graphics computer, if you want to 3D game you need a dedicated graphics computer with it's own or dedicated VRAM.
    If your this serious about 3D gaming, your on the wrong platform.
    Get a Windows 7 64bit i7 8GB RAM expandable 3D gaming tower with a good power supply and video card upgrade path, this way every few years you buy and stick in a new video card to play the latest games.
    Mac's are not gaming machines and never will be because they would last too long if we could upgrade them.

  • How to allocate more RAM to the JVM

    I use servlets which show applets in a web page, and it needs many space memory to show big pictures. I wondered if there was no means to allocate more RAM to the JVM
    Would anybody know a means?
    Thank you in advance

    I know, and it is there that I want to use it, but I do not know which are the arguments to be put nor how much I can add of memory.
    Is there a tutorial to use this option?
    Is there a means to know the space report at present used by the JVM?

  • How solve  ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate

    i am facing problems in oracle 10g and after establishing 250 sessions
    an error ocure
    how solve ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate
    how i can solve it.

    The Oracle version and if Oracle and the OS are 32 or 64 bit versions affect whether or not the /3GB or /PAE flags come into play.
    Also if pga_aggregate_target is not in use then the error generally means the userload is too large for available memory which could be because the previously mentioned switches are needed, because the user load is just to large for available resources, or that memory is being wasted by an excessive number of "dead" sessions. Again depending on the versions of the OS, Oracle, and the application space leaks could be an issue.
    Bouncing will reclaim space lost to space leaks and clean up dead sessions but it is best to know why the problem exists before bouncing cause once you reboot you lose most of the information that will tell you what the cause of the problem is unless you make it a point to capture debugging information first.

    hi,
    when i try to use log miner i got this error ;

    it says that solve this error and then try to execute again.
    2 days ago i succeeded to use log miner with no error.
    is there anyone who has experienced this error ?
    how can i solve this error ?
    thanks ....

    This error occur due to process unable to get more memory that it is need to process the request. This limit may be on server side or on database side.
    If the server is unix then check for ulimit -a limit parameters

    Hi,
    Again we are facing the same error after increasing pga_aggregate_target from 2G to 3G, the journal import program request finally results in ora-04030 process out of memory when trying to allocate nn bytes.
    wiil there be any bugs issue?
    DBMS:9.2.0.3
    OS :sun sparc 5.10

    IF possible try to apply last patchset to take your DB to the latest version which should be more reliable and many bugs should be solved.
    Do you have free physical memory to use the 3gb?
    Hope this helps.

  • Slow running - more ram the answer?

    I've had my intel imac for about 8 months now and I hate to say it but it was a mistake. A prior PC user, I just don't use the computer enough or have enough teech knowledge to make the most of the mac facilities - or rather to spend all the time necessary to get around a Windows dominated world. It wouldnt be so bad if the actual mac-based products were compatible with intel imac!
    Anyway my main complaint is that the the thing is just slower. Especially if I have an application running - such as word - I see far to much of the beach ball.
    Will more RAM solve this problem (I have 512)? And is RAM a lot cheaper in the US than the UK?
    intel imac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    were the earlier models inferior in some way?
    steinzeug,
    No, I haven't seen that. Are you sure that they're both fully seated? When installing a second module, the locking arms/ejector mechanism must be used to loosen the first module so that it can be reseated when the new module is installed, then after both are perfectly seated, the mechanism can be used to lock them in place. It won't usually work well to try and use it to force the RAM into a seated position. The RAM is either fully seated or not before the locking mechanism gets used. This isn't a 100 percent for sure situation, just best procedure based on the reports of many users that came here this year.
    edit-
    I hope you're not judging speed based on Safari, as I've actually removed a RAM stick and sworn Safari sped up. While I use no other browser, there are many others who advise trying another.

  • Will adding more Ram  help?

    My iMac is 2010. Over the last 3 - 4 months its started to slow down a bit. I  realize sometimes thats just the way things are but I am wondering if there is anything I can do to help. It seems that everything is a bit slow on startup/wakeup. It takes about 5-10 seconds for things to get rolling, that doesn't bother me that much, I can handle it, just pointing out that is different from 3-4 months ago. Once things get rolling its fine.
    iPhoto on occasion slows down, but again for the most part its ok. It's iMovie that really seems to lag. I realize of the things I am using iMovie is probably the most "powerful" program I am using , dealing with all the video files, but it has become very tedious to use. I've tried to "clean up" things a bit and that doesn't seem to really be helping. I am wondering if adding more RAM would help. Currently I have 4 slots filled with 2 GB of Ram. I think thinking of upgrading 2 of those to 4GB.
    I guess I am wondering if that would make a difference? I know in theory adding more "juice" will make things run faster but for the most part the computer does run ok on its own, its iMovie that lags. It it simplky because its a more powerful program and adding more juice will help. Or do we think something else is going on?

  • I have 1 GB RAM on an '07 MacBook Pro. 1) How do I check remaining memory? 2) I have Microsoft office 2004 - do I need to buy more RAM to upgrade to '11? 3) I need a new battery ... Is it worth the $$ to buy a new battery, RAM and Microsoft office 2011?

    I have a MacBook Pro from '07 with 1 GB of memory. The battery is shot and my AppleCare has run out. I just upgraded the OS to 10.6.8. But a few questions:
    1 - How do I even check how much memory I have left on this computer?
    2 - How do I check how many battery cycles are left?
    3 - I want to upgrade to Microsoft Office '11 because I don't have Adobe Acrobat to creat pdf's and I need to be able to do this for school... Instead of buying acrobat, I figured I would just upgrade to Office '11 because I can generate pdf's from Word. Roughly how much RAM does Office '11 take up?
    4 - Does Apple still make batteries for this computer (from '07)? How much do they cost?
    5 - How much does 1 more GB of memory cost?
    AND lastly -- is it even worth it to spend the $ on more RAM, a new battery and Office '11?
    Or does it make more sense to just get a new computer entirely? (trying to avoid this).
    ANY help would be sooo appreciated! Thanks.

    1 - How do I even check how much memory I have left on this computer?
    If you're asking how to check to see if you need more RAM, open Activity Monitor and go to the System Memory tab, then compare page outs and page ins.  If page outs is 10% or more of page ins, you probably need more RAM.
    2 - How do I check how many battery cycles are left?
    There's no limit on the number of battery cycles, it's just that the more cycles you've used the more "worn out" your battery gets.  You've got a 4-year-old machine, and if it's still got the original battery, it's probably about time for a replacement battery.  You can check battery health using System Profiler...  look at the Power section under Hardware.
    3 - I want to upgrade to Microsoft Office '11 because I don't have Adobe Acrobat to creat pdf's and I need to be able to do this for school... Instead of buying acrobat, I figured I would just upgrade to Office '11
    You don't need Office 2011 to create PDFs.  Any application capable of printing can create PDFs on a Mac.  Just choose File -> Print, but instead of clicking the Print button in the print dialog, click the PDF button and choose Save As PDF in the menu that appears.
    4 - Does Apple still make batteries for this computer (from '07)? How much do they cost?
    5 - How much does 1 more GB of memory cost?
    I'll "ditto" sig's answers to these.
    AND lastly -- is it even worth it to spend the $ on more RAM, a new battery and Office '11?
    Or does it make more sense to just get a new computer entirely? (trying to avoid this).
    If Office 2004 is still working fine for you, stick with that and don't incur the costs of Office 2011.  As to the RAM, only add more if the test I mentioned above indicates that you need it.  If you buy more RAM when you don't really need it, you won't see much (if any) performance improvement.  That just leaves the battery...  and if the machine is still doing what you need it to do and you don't really need a new machine for anything, you could definitely buy a new battery and get a few more years out of it. 

  • Since the os7 update on my iPad, my safari is not right, it only opens one page at a time, crashes when trying to open more, it has no back button. Help

    Since the os7 update on my iPad, my safari is not right, it only opens one page at a time, crashes when trying to open more, it has no back button. Help

    Well, I rebuilt the entire workbook... that was a few months ago and so far, the problem hasn't resurfaced. It really wasn't fun to do, but whatever glitch there was in the file, I eliminated it.
    I think I should mention that I am using Office v.X, NOT Office 2004. I got a new Intel iMac this week and yesterday when I opened up my files, it opened up the test drive (a JOKE of a program if you ask me) Anyway, some of the very minor issues I had with Office v.X were solved in the 2004 version. (When opening up large multi worksheet files without Excel being already opened, the tabs have white text) Anyway, I am still going to wait for the universal version to come out, but it seems that the newer versions may have fewer glitches (as is to be expected)
    At any rate, best of luck to you!

  • How do i allocate more memory to my iphoto application? i am unable to add more photos to my library  i keep getting a pop up saying not enough memory in my application

    how do i allocate more memory from my hd to my iphoto application? i have over 80 gb on my hard drive, but only 1.7 gb allocated to my iphoto application & i am unable to add more photos to my library.  i keep getting a popup that says not enough application memory.

    There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
    A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
    Not enough memory for your usage pattern
    Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
    These instructions are for OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks.") The procedure may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
    When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
    View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
    from the menu bar.
    If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
    The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
    Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
    "Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
    If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
    The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command: 
    sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
    where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the  leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.
