#6696: 7za can't allocate required memory. ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: kvdman | Owner: nobody Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Applications | Version: R1/alpha2 Resolution: | Keywords: 7za Blocked By: | Has a Patch: 0 Platform: All | Blocking: ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Comment (by kvdman): Interesting. Using 7-Zip file manager on WinXP to compress a 450mb file, it tells you it'll will require 708mb of RAM (has a neat GUI). I set the VM to have 512mb of RAM with no paging file. During the compression process, a Windows System message pops up notifying me that the 'Windows Virtual Memory' is too low. Windows automatically increased the size of the virtual memory paging file during the process, and the process completed without error. It's neat that WinXP can compensate (system wide) for situations when there isn't enough physical RAM available... I guess it shows a limitation and perhaps improvement that could be applied for Haiku's Memory manager? So in the end, I guess the ticket is invalid. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6696#comment:5> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
