[Freeswitch-users] Freeswitch ULIMIT on 64 bit

[Bob]

Hi,

Apologies if I'm double posting this, but I have not seen my original post to list appear in the archives, so I'm assuming it got lost in cyberspace !

Hi,

As per the performance docs, I am trying to set the recommended ULIMIT of 8192 stacksize on a 64 bit machine.

I am using the current version of Freeswitch (as pulled off GIT yesterday, Friday).

I am running Scientific Linux 6.1 :
Linux 2.6.32-131.21.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 22 14:15:09 CST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


My present ulimit settings are as follows :
$ ulimit -a

core file size          (blocks, -c) unlimited
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority             (-e) 0
file size               (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals                 (-i) unlimited
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size         (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                      (-n) 999999
pipe size            (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues     (bytes, -q) unlimited
real-time priority              (-r) 0
stack size              (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time               (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes              (-u) unlimited
virtual memory          (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks                      (-x) unlimited


However when I start freeswitch "bin/freeswitch -nc -nonat -nonatmap", I get the following :

Error: stacksize 8192 is too large: run ulimit -s 240 from your shell before starting the application.
auto-adjusting stack size for optimal performance...

Surely this is incorrect, because I am running a 64 bit kernel, 240 is the recommended value for 32 bit ?
