datenwolf / fmlock Goto Github PK

Hi, i develop gopreload:
https://github.com/kokoko3k/gopreload

...it is mainly a bash script, but uses some c code to map files into memory.
My c code does the same as your fmlock tool, but i'm not a c programmer, so i ask you if i can use your code (which is better) instead of mine.

Thanks.

Hi,

I tried to use GOPreload [1] on my Debian system. GOPreload is based on fmlock.

GOPreload author is using arch and GOPreload works fine on it as it seems to work also on gentoo.

But It doesn't seem to have any effect on my Debian system.

Therefore I'm wondering if fmlock has the right to lock memory on Debian or if there could be anything Debian-specific about it ? Maybe you could know something about it ?

BTW Memlockd seems to do the same job as fmlock (?), and Memlockd is packaged on Debian [2] therefore I tend to consider that fmlock is supposed to run on debian ?

Besides, is it normal that when I preload firefox with GOPreload preparing 137MB of files, fmlock still uses 0K RAM ?

$ pgrep fmlock
1888
$ pmap 1888
1888: /usr/share/gopreload/bin/fmlock.gopreload/tmp/preloadlist.txt
total 0K

Thanks in advance for your help !

Cheers
