wine 64bit ram limits.

[alextone]

Hello all, a quick question about wine64bit.

I'm hitting a limit on how much ram i can use in wine, around 30-32GB. (I have 64GB of ram in the box.)

I'm running wine in Debian jessie.

Is there an arbitrary limit on ram usage in wine (either directly, or allocated by linux), or should it be able to use more, and i have some sort of config or setup restriction?

Alex.

To add more information to this question.

Here's a trace from a crash.

No matter what i do, i can't get past the limit of about 30GB in Wine64.

alextone check your ulimit settings. ulimit is a linux command if you don't know.

Next issue most people don't run programs in wine requiring so much ram and most developers and users don't have over 16GB of ram. So you are in untested area.

alextone do consider running wine testsuite this might show something.


Next is that the complete log? Normally a zeroed out crash like this has some other function before it.

Ulimit is already unlimited.

Winetest doesn't really give me anything useful, so a colleague is making an .exe that will hopefully throw up more information.

I'm really surprised you suggested the devs aren't likely to have a machine with more than 16GB of ram for developing wine64 bit.
