That would increase the theoretical maximum to ~15 GB. People with 8 GB swap would get a warning, but would be unlikely to run into trouble. (or we could increase the limit to 72351744 bytes, which is the precise amount required to support 16 GB) DES -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - des_at_des.noReceived on Fri Aug 24 2012 - 07:44:50 UTC
