Required RAM for 1.6?
 |  |  |
I pay for a cheap linux box monthly ($5.99 usd/mo) and up until v 1.6 I could run the server without any minimum or maximum jvm heap specifications, I just omitted the command line args xmx and xms. My little box only has 512 MB ram and now I can't run the server for 1.6. If I try to run it without the heap space arguments, the server will run for about 5 minutes before it stops responding/working because it runs out of ram I guess. But when I try to run it with the restrictions:
java -Xmx426M -Xms392M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui
No matter what I change the restrictions to I get the same message:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
I definitely have enough RAM to do this because:
root@215738:~/minecraft# free -mt
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 512 63 449 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 63 449
Swap: 0 0 0
Total: 512 63 449
I do a lot of programming in Java; have even written servers in java but I've never run into this. Devs please help me out. Is my box just incapable of running the new version now? If so that's really dissapointing; I was wanting to take over that nether with my friends in multiplayer :D. Appreciate any help. Thanks,
