[coLinux-devel] memory setting with the next release

[Dan A. <da...@co...>]

Hello,

The last version in snapshots (which I added today) contains the 
reimplemented allocation method. I'm delaying the release since one 
issue needs to be resolved with this allocation method.

There is a shortcoming with Windows' cache memory policy. On my 
256MB setup, Windows sometimes refuses to release cache pages that 
could accommodate memory for coLinux. This means that with large memory 
settings, it is hard to tell whether the next coLinux boot would 
succeed. On that machine, the 128MB setting reaches that limit, and 
I am forced to bring it down to somewhat 110MB for it to boot.

Another issue is that I don't have machines with more than 256MB of RAM 
to test this version with. I'd like to know about the typical behavior 
on setups with bigger amounts of RAM.

So, try the snapshot with various RAM settings and send results.
