kevr: how would i go about allocating a swapfile on disk? fallocate won't run
mercutio: most people don't really nede swap these days
i'm not sure what fallocate is
i'd use dd, mkswap, swapon if i was to do such.
but it's better to stay within memory limits
also executables can be paged out for the slightly over state of affairs
usually what really pushes over is high working set, which you tend to want to stay in ram
kevr: mercutio: i'm having a problem running a reactjs build on the server
mercutio: what's it saying?
kevr: for some reason, javascript people don't care about memory size, so they just require a fuckton
mercutio: is it leaking?
kevr: mercutio: FATAL ERROR: NewSpace::Rebalance Allocation failed - process out of memory
mercutio: i am finding things saying it uses quite a lot of memory like 100MB+
kevr: not that it's leaking, but it uses a GC, and they dont really use the GC until you hit a certain cap
mercutio: but that doesn't seem like enough tob e causing issues
yeah
kevr: it uses way more than that
npm has a 4gb cap by default apparently
or, node
mercutio: well try dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024k count=512 or something
mkswap swapfile
swapon swapfile
kevr: yeah, gotcha
mercutio: but you may be able to tweak it somehow to use less memory
i'm hoping it's just overcommitting
and not actually touching the pages
that's 512mb btw
kevr: yeah
yeah, that gave it enough space to run fine
mercutio: interesting
kevr: not sure why, i've always used fallocate to make swapfiles
heh
mercutio: is it touching the sawp?
swapon -s
or free
kevr: yeah
it used a little bit.
...couple kb
mercutio: wtf
kevr: -_-
mercutio: that's funny
kevr: lol
on the subsequent run it used 100mb
...wtf
mercutio: ok
kevr: whatever.
mercutio: that sounds like it might be leaking :)
kevr: worked out.
yeah
mercutio: maybe leave it for a while
BryceBot: That's what she said!!
mercutio: and see if it keeps growing
