Hi,
I need to revise my problem report some weeks ago. Actually, the "Changing
Cygwin's Maximum Memory" explanations under
http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-maxmem.htm recommending
something like
regtool -i set /HKLM/Software/Cygwin/heap_chunk_in_mb 2048
regtool -v list /HKLM/Software/Cygwin
do work under Windows Server 2003 64bit. And exactly,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Cygwin is that place where the
abovementioned regtool invocation will place "heap_chunk_in_mb".
Sorry for having bothered you some time ago, I did something wrong that
day (no idea what). The max_memory check program now returns 1792MB
accessible memory.

Hi,
it is maybe no surprise that the advice for changing cygwin's maximum
memory given under http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-maxmem.html
does not work under Windows Server 2003 64bit, i.e. the max_memory.c
check program always returns 1536MB available memory, no matter if I
place the DWORD "heap_chunk_in_mb" (I want 2048MB) in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry branch. And yes, I
always have restarted the whole server to give cygwin a chance to read
the variable.
During my search I have found some Cygwin entries in a branch
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Cygwin, so I have tried to place
the "heap_chunk_in_mb" there, but got no effect.
Does anybody know where to correctly place the DWORD "heap_chunk_in_mb"
on a Windows Server 2003 64bit running CYGWIN_NT-5.2-WOW64?
Thanks a lot - Ulf-Dietrich
