JVM Memory Limit on Linux

843811Jan 2 2002 — edited Sep 18 2003

I am experiencing no joy with getting the JVM to allocate a heap size of over 2G in my RedHat Linux server.

My box has 4G RAM and i'd like to do java -mx4000M but all I get is "Could not reserve enough space for object heap". Anyone got a workarround (I assume its a 2^32 issue) and will it be possible to do this with the official 1.4 release (Ive tried with 1.3 and 1.4 Beta 3)

Thanks in advance

Tony
