So it seems that the low resource limits on the interactive nodes were in the end causing the failures. I ran successfully via interactive batch which has much looser limits. Overall I found that using jemalloc cut the memory usage by 1/3 for a specific test job (400MB vs 130MB). So that was indeed a useful outcome. thanks to all --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/issues/142#issuecomment-57539425 ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the XROOTD-DEV list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=XROOTD-DEV&A=1
