I'm guessing that this probably only happens on 32-bit systems? That would be caused by lmbench scripts deciding that 70% is the right amount of memory to use, which is a problem when the max amount per process is 2GiB and you have considerably more than that.
Solution: don't try to use >2 GiB RAM on 32-bit systems. Considering the purpose to be able to avoid the cache affecting your test results, you don't really need to use that much anyway. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290757 Title: lmbench hangs with memsize set to > 2GiB To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lmbench/+bug/290757/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
