problem with BIG images - Memory allocation failed `#FFFFFF'

[jnimo]

Hi all.

I'm using imagemagick in an aplication to make automatic procedures in images but right now I'm having and issue with a command

convert -limit memory 1mb -limit map 1mb -size 23622x14527 -density 300x300 xc:#FFFFFF out.jpg
convert: Memory allocation failed `#FFFFFF'.
convert: missing an image filename `out.jpg'.


I have the tmp_magick to a folder in a SAN with 7 teras of free space, 4 Gb of RAM and still it doesn't make anything, any ideas?

thanks for this library

I'm reading about this and I think that this is where almost all the people had the problem but I think that this machine has good memory to run this command


convert -list resource
File Area Memory Map Disk
------------------------------------------------
768 7.91366gb 5.93524gb 15.8273gb 16eb


I don't know what else could be, any ideas?

Add -debug cache to your command line. Does the debugging reports its writing the pixel cache to your SAN disk? If not, set the MAGICK_TMPDIR environment variable. Also try ImageMagick 6.4.3-7, the latest release. Does your command work now?

Hi and thanks for the reply

this is the output with debug cache

I think that yes, it is trying to write to the SAN, besides I have try to make the command in others machines and is always the same error (and pretty fast by the way) I don't know anything else but I have the exit with debug all

Any ideas?

Thanks

Grab ImageMagick 6.4.3-8 sometime tomorrow or add the following to magick/studio.h and wand/studio.h:

• #if defined(MAGICKCORE__FILE_OFFSET_BITS) && !defined(_FILE_OFFSET_BITS)
  # define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS MAGICKCORE__FILE_OFFSET_BITS
  #endif

right before the '#if defined(_magickcore_const)' line. If this patch fails to fix the problem, let us know.

[jnimo]

I will wait for the 6.4.3.8 tomorrow thanks and yes I will let you know about

[jnimo]

Thanks I have try the new lib in my development machine, my Q&A machine and we will put the library in the production enviroment sometime in the next days and yes it did solve the problem in those enviroments


Thanks
