What they said is correct regardless of that though?
- conradludgate 7mo agoThe point the article makes is that a 32GB file can be mmapped even if you only have 8GB of memory available - it wasn't talking about the address space. So the response is irrelevant even if technically correct
- lelanthran 7mo ago> What they said is correct regardless of that though? I don't think so. Their post is basically: >> It still works if the file doesn't fit in RAM > No it doesn't. Which is incorrect: it actually does work for files that don't fit in RAM. It doesn't work only for files that don't fit in the address space, which is not what the author claimed.
- dekhn 7mo agoI'm pretty sure the parent post to mine was updated from "RAM" to "address space", although I'm not 100% sure.
