What is the maximum amount of RAM supported by linux? What is the maximum address space available to a linux process?
The closest I have been able to get to answer is in the linux FAQ, which states that you can have at most 16 128mb swap files, for a maximum of 2gb swap. If you had 2gb RAM, would a linux process then be able to address a total of 4gb memory?
I will post these answers for inclusion in the linux faq.
Thanks, Eric ristad@cs.princeton.edu
