Description Jeremy Spewock 2024-01-25 18:46:33 CET
Currently the config file we have allows you to configure the number of huge pages (defaulted to 256), but it doesn't do anything to change the size. Creating 256 2M hugepages is very different from creating 256 1G hugepages and if you run this default config on a host where you have the default hugepage size set to 1G, this would cause major problems for hosts without enough memory to support 256gb of hugepages.Of course this configuration is optional, but still would be ideal if it were slightly more configurable so that you can control what you mean by 256 hugepages.
