From: Peter Zaitsev To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain Organization: MySQL Message-Id: <1078636886.2313.718.camel@abyss.local> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.4.5 Date: Sat, 06 Mar 2004 21:21:28 -0800 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 778 Lines: 23 Hello, I'm wondering is there any way to access "large pages" (4MB) memory other than using shared memory ? For example can you do anonymous mmap to get access to large pages. I would like to utilize large pages for MySQL buffer pool and other large caches, but would not like to use Shared memory for this purpose as it will complicate things for users. -- Peter Zaitsev, Senior Support Engineer MySQL AB, www.mysql.com Meet the MySQL Team at User Conference 2004!
