Cool! I'll try that, thanks.
I just wonder: It says in the Notes "If `-memory' is not specified then the heap will grow dynamically.". As I understand that, the image should not run out of space before the OS does (or the address range assigned by the OS). So can this option reserve more memory than the OS would otherwise allow? I'll try it out and let you know what happened.
-memory allocates the memory when the VM starts. Use -mmap (un un*x) if you want the VM to dinamically grow the heap. AFAIK the windows VM doesn't support more than 512MB. Levente

The unix VM and apparently also the Mac VM has an option -memory that allows you to set a heap size:
[adrian:/Applications/Squeak 4.2.3beta1U.app/Contents/MacOS] ./Squeak\ VM\ Opt -help Usage: ./Squeak VM Opt [<option>...] [<imageName> [<argument>...]] ./Squeak VM Opt [<option>...] -- [<argument>...]
Common <option>s: -help print this help message, then exit -memory <size>[mk] use fixed heap size (added to image size) -pathenc <enc> set encoding for pathnames (default: macintosh) -headless run in headless (no window) mode (default: false)
Notes: <imageName> defaults to `Squeak.image'. If `-memory' is not specified then the heap will grow dynamically. <argument>s are ignored, but are processed by the Squeak image. The first <argument> normally names a Squeak `script' to execute. Precede <arguments> by `--' to use default image.

Hi
I'm having trouble with low space warnings in Pharo. Is there a source on how much memory the image can get from the OS? Is there maybe a way to up that limit? I am loading a lot of data into the image and the limit at the moment seems to be around 500 MB.
Thanks for any ideas.
