Memtester output messages like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"Allocated 61569920 bytes...trying mlock...failed: insufficient resources."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
are *NORMAL*.
|
||
|
|
According to the documentation, malloc errors mean that memtester is
|
||
|
|
encountering difficulty allocating the given amount of memory for
|
||
|
|
testing (presumably because it's in use). It keeps trying, reducing the
|
||
|
|
memory size (or trying a different block) until it is able to allocate
|
||
|
|
that memory block size to testing and proceed with its tests.
|
||
|
|
Multiple instances of memtester can be run in parallel to provide full
|
||
|
|
coverage of memory.
