Executing mercurial "hg update" will give "abort: out of memory"

hg process when executed by user will show "abort: out of memory"

[marco.silva]

Since the mercurial version on the official repos is a bit old, I tried installing fr om rpmforge and fr om source, but neither of them work when executing hg with a normal user. If I execute with root, there will be no problem, hg executes as expected.

When I execute "hg upd ate" with a normal user I will get a "abort: out of memory". I even se tup the LVE for 16GB of ram and 50% CPU, and this won work. So It looks like there is a extra feature thats lim iting mercurial?

Any ideias?

If you are running it as root -- I am pretty sure it is not due to LVE
most likely it is either data seg size (-d) or max memory size (-m) or virtual memory (-v)
I would reset those to unlimited, and try again.

hmmm ok, so in what does the LVE Memory Limit that I can set in CPANEL affect, since that is set to 8GB now.

and how do I change those limite you mentions (data seg size (-d) or max memory size (-m) or virtual memory (-v) ) ?

Thanks for the help

man ulimit will show how to adjust those limits.

LVE memory limits limits cron/shell/php/cgi scripts run by end users. It doesn limit root at all.

Thanks!

Had to change /etc/bashrc and /etc/profile to set new limits, since it looks like its Cpanel that was setting this limits for SSH connections.
