I am trying to run cygwin on a Windows 2003 server with 8GB of ram.
I have set the registry key to inform cygwin the max memory should be 4096
(4GB). Checking the registry - I see the value is set to 4096.
(see: http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-maxmem.html)
In spite of this, all indications are that it does not see more than 2GB
(2097151K) of RAM. (top and vmstat output)
Can anyone else confirm this - that memory above 2GB is not visible to
cygwin. Any known work-arounds?
Thanks in advance.
