kernel tuning and mmap

Hello,

I am doing some development which will require mmap'ping a 1.8 gig
file into memory. I have two questions which don't seem to be covered in
the man page or the system administrators guide.

  1. Do I need to tune the kernel to allow that big of a file to be
     mmap'ed?

  2. Is there a way for me to ensure that the table (file) doesn't get
     swapped out? The machine will have 6 gig of RAM.



Thanks very much,
will summarize,


Bryan
