SREP bug - Please Help :(

[KVM]

I have been trying and trying to compress files larger than 25 GB using SREP but it always gives the same following error :-

ERROR! Can't allocate memory: 6202 mb memory required (l64k -a- -ia- options may help)

I have tried suggestions of using "-s" switch, I tried doing with -s100gb and more than that as well but it never worked.

Please don't give me suggestions of increasing down the "-l" value. There must be a way to let SREP allocate the required memory.

Please help me here

If you're using Windows OS then run cmd.exe and following command: systeminfo>%USERPROFILE%\desktop\stats.txt
Open stats.txt on your desktop and find the following lines and paste them here:

Total Physical Memory:
Available Physical Memory:
Virtual Memory: Max Size:
Virtual Memory: Available:
Virtual Memory: In Use:

Write the exact version of SREP you're trying to compress with.
Write the exact size of data you're trying to compress.
Write the exact command line.

Available Physical Memory: 24,648 MB
Virtual Memory: Max Size: 98,199 MB
Virtual Memory: Available: 79,786 MB
Virtual Memory: In Use: 18,413 MB

SREP: 3.91 beta, though this error is not version related because it happens with EVERY version of SREP.

I am compressing "32.1 GB (34,526,266,368 bytes)" of data, though I may want to compress files larger than this.

Command-line: srep -m5f -l256

That -l256 never worked on files larger than 25 GB, that's the problem with SREP and it seems unfixable. Please someone help !

To me, it seems you are using the 32 bit version of srep.

In the srep distribution archive there is also a srep64.
