Re: [Condor-users] Reseting the ImageSize

Hi Alan,

Ooh - that's not good. I imagine that adjusting ImageSize could lead to *bad things*.
I think I understand a little more now. You say that

is that ImageSize correct (have you checked the memory footprint on a non-condor machine) ? There seems to be an issue with some multi-threaded binaries reporting the wrong memory size:

https://www-auth.cs.wisc.edu/lists/condor-users/2011-May/msg00152.shtml

However, if you have actually got a real memory footprint of 2.5 GB then it is inadvisable to run this on a machine with only 2GB of RAM available! If there really is more than 2GB available then you could change the limits for those nodes.

Hope that helps, Dan
