Deactivating Virtual Memory

NetProgrammer · 09-05-2012, 12:01 AM

Dear All,

does anybody know how I can deactivate virtual memory in Linx ?
I want one of prgrams running on computer does not use virtual memory and puts all of its data in real main memory.

I can't imagine why you'd want to do that, but http://linux.die.net/man/8/swapoff

No you don't, you only think you do.

I'm pretty sure you can't.

That would apply to all programs, but just anonymous memory.

NetProgrammer seems to want this to apply to one program and I expect wants it to apply to all of that program's memory.
