OpenBSD cannot allocate more than 1Gb of RAM per process
Monday, September 8, 2008
It’s 2008, and OpenBSD has a limit of 1Gb of RAM per process, even on 64-bit architectures.
This has been discussed many times over the years, and apparently the OpenBSD developers don’t consider fixing this to be a priority, it has gone neglected for 4 years.
Pretty sad, really. I guess OpenBSD is great as a router on a 486, but for workstation or server use I recommend looking into NetBSD, FreeBSD or Linux instead.
