| Nov 5, 2018 at 4:47 | comment | added | tk421 | Interesting, I wonder if this is a bug with Eclipse or a plugin. I did find bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=539918 "Eclipse hard crash due OOM on native mmap allocation" but that's a different problem. | |

| Nov 5, 2018 at 1:12 | comment | added | tk421 | Look at the contents of /proc/{PID}/maps to see if it's taking to account the actual file size or it's just picking an arbitrary size. | |
| Nov 4, 2018 at 13:18 | comment | added | maaartinus | But even mapping the whole disk would stay below 50 GB (as I wrote, there's 6 GB real memory, 2 GB swap and a single 40 GB HD partition). | |
