[7.300+] handling PAE kernels for more memory ! [URGENT FEATURE REQUEST]
Hi
this is now urgent for us that you enable a PAE kernel ! we have 2 ASG cluster with 4G each (for timebeing as master/backup) and we plan to buy the active/active cluster soon... but for timebeing memory used on the firewall is about 3G almost all the time !!!  and we have not yet activated email filtering ! only IPS, IPSec and SSL VPN (+regular packet filter) are activated... but we will have soon more big customers... so this is really important that astaro can handle more than 3.2G !!!!
so can you make PAE support high priority for next (major?) release ?
thx

How much of the 3G used is Cache?
Linux will always use ALL available memory for filecaching.

How many users or connections are going through the firewall?

PAE is actived by the big-smp kernel. you must manual install the big snmp kernel.

we are using Astaro as ISP, and we are hosting big customers for ressorts solutions (online reservations, checkins, ... for hotels, camping, mobilehome, ..) and we have a 99% availabilty system (everything is redondant), so we have bunch of connexion all day long, so the IPS should be really used eavily..

is that an install Option (like noacpi) when you boot the Install-CD? And more important... is it an "official" Option  . Does someone know someone who uses that "big-snmp" Kernel?

I don't believe there is an option for installing the "big-smp" kernel. I don't believe Astaro supports this configuration. If you are a commercial customer, I suggest opening a case with Astaro, or contacting your reseller to explore your options.
