#6696: 7za can't allocate required memory. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: kvdman | Owner: nobody Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Applications | Version: R1/alpha2 Keywords: 7za | Blocked By: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All Blocking: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Tested on GCC4 hybrid rev. 38892 on Vmware. 7za version is 9.04 Beta. I'm trying to compress a 400mb directory using this command: 7za a -t7z -mx=9 archive.7z directory The machine with 512mb of RAM won't even start compressing the archive, returning: 'can't allocate required memory.' I upped the memory to 1.5gb, restarted, and retried. The same error came up with the archive compressed to 90%... I don't think this is normal behaviour that it needs to store everything in RAM? -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6696> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
