CR01 - Could not reserve enough space for object heap

[bbeyer]

Hello!

I tried to start the new CR01 Release today and received the following Error as response:

Could not reserve enough space for object heap

I saw, that Xmx and MaxPermSize is increased to 768 M. My test environment is windows xp with actually 2 GB free memory.

1. Does GateIn really need so much memory to run proper also at a developer environment? That is realy much for OS that could not handle more than 3 GB.

2. 2 * 768 = 1536 and i have 2 GB free memory (pronounced by windows). Why did the server still claim this error?

Thanks in advance

I had the same error with also 2GB, I changed the run.conf.bat to set "JAVA_OPTS=-Xms256M -Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M" and it started fine in 3'50".

I will reduce the shipped-in values (JBoss 5.1 default values are too low though)

Here is what I have observed....  (On Ubuntu 8 - Tomcat bundle)

If you do repeated start and stops of Gatein this causes the memory to be consumed.  I think that somewhere things are not being cleaned up.

Also some comands such as ./gatein.sh stop -force .. the comand does not work as it does not identify a PID

Now since things are not cleaned up there are sometimes errors when redeploying portal..  work around is to fo to GateinHome/gatein/data and remove the directory.

this will alow you to redeploy the portal.war

cheers,
