Re: memsize ferret error



Phil,

For datasets where you know you'll need a lot of memory you can include the following in the dataset configuration file:

<properties>
  <ferret>
    <memsize>~set mem/size argument~</memsize>
  </ferret>
</properties>


You can specify this at the server, dataset or variable level as documented here:

http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/LAS/Documentation/manual/customize.html#Ferret_properties

(Note to self -- need to get all this information into the searchable FAQ-O-Matic documentation!)

Hello,

With some help from others, we have identified some errors that we have
been getting on our LAS server. 

It was suggested that we modify the memsize within the ferret scripts
and see if this helps. 

We are upgrading the physical memory of the machine, as we have
identified a need to do this anyway. However, I am curious if anyone can
pin-point the following error.

 **ERROR: insufficient memory: 27324000 words were requested.

Will adjusting the memsize in the ferret scripts help resolve this?

I have a few ideas but would like any suggestions from the experts prior
to making the adjustments.
