&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;===mlockall error===&lt;br /&gt;
If you get an error like:&lt;br /&gt;
 mlockall: Cannot allocate memory&lt;br /&gt;
It is most likely due to a limit in the amount of memory a user may lock (protect against swap)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
see the limits bu&lt;br /&gt;
 $ ulimit -a&lt;br /&gt;
 core file size          (blocks, -c) 0&lt;br /&gt;
 data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited&lt;br /&gt;
 scheduling priority             (-e) 0&lt;br /&gt;
 file size               (blocks, -f) unlimited&lt;br /&gt;
 pending signals                 (-i) 8180&lt;br /&gt;
 max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) 32&lt;br /&gt;
 max memory size         (kbytes, -m) unlimited&lt;br /&gt;
 open files                      (-n) 1024&lt;br /&gt;
 ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
here the limit is 32k, this is too small&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Change try to set to a higher value, or unlimited:&lt;br /&gt;
 $ulimit -l unlimited&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is probably not allowed, so change in /etc/security/limits.conf&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
add a line, e.g.:&lt;br /&gt;
 @users soft memlock unlimited&lt;br /&gt;
This sets the limit for all in users group to unlimited&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
