CF11 VFS error: The Global Memory Limit 1000 MB for In-Memory Virtual FileSystem exceeded .

Question

Greetings,I have a fresh install of CF11 standard on Windows 8 server 64x16GB of ramJVM settings:-server -Xmn1024m -Xss1024k -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m -XX:+UseParallelGC -Xbatch -Dcoldfusion.home={application.home} -Duser.language=en -Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home} -Dcoldfusion.libPath={application.home}/lib -Dorg.apache.coyote.USE_CUSTOM_STATUS_MSG_IN_HEADER=true -Dcoldfusion.jsafe.defaultalgo=FIPS186RandomMin Heap: 2048mb, Max Heap 6144mbVFS settings:Global memory limit for VFS: 1000mbMemory Limit per Application for VFS: 400mbCurrently CF is using 1.7GB of ramI have a 6 applications on this server. 1 of which makes use of the VFS.The others are simple cfm applications that have NOTHING to do with the VFS system.I have a scheduled task that calls simple cfm pages to update tables in our database. When these tasks run, i get a global error email (ones i have setup if a cf error happens) and the gist of the error is BrowserCFSCHEDULE DateTime{ts '2014-08-16 15:07:00'} DiagnosticsThe Global Memory Limit 1000 MB for In-Memory Virtual FileSystem exceeded .
Increase the VFS memory limit in ColdFusion Administrator.
The error occurred on line 17. GeneratedContent[empty string] HTTPReferer[empty string] Mailto[empty string] MessageThe Global Memory Limit 1000 MB for In-Memory Virtual FileSystem exceeded . QueryString[empty string] RemoteAddressxxx.xxx.xxx.xxxI have a utility i can run to view all the files in the VFS. and there is currently a total of 8 cfm files there that make up 4064KB of space within the VFS.The 1 application that actually uses the VFS has several functions. One of which basically writes out CFM files and then includes the cfm as a content variable and returns the variable.Under CF9 we were also deleting the ram drive CFM files after including them. But under CF11 this fails with an error saying the modified date could not be found. I have since removed the delete file part and the system works but we get this out of memory error with the VFS.Can someone shed some light on this for me?It makes no since.Thanks

I am sorry to say to anyone else who my find this issue, i could not resolve it.

Thank you to BK for all your great suggestions and help.

We just switched the entire system over to hard drive. This will end up hurting us in the end but at this point we dont have an option, our system has been down since the day we upgraded it to CF11. We did a lot of load testing prior to the migration and from our testing it worked. But there were a lot of issues with IIS connectors and we also had new memory installed. There has been a lot going on and it is hard to track down the exact cause.

None the less, the error should still be reported as a bug. It misrepresents what is actually the issue and it will lead someone else in the future down a ghost rabbit hole that does not exist.

Thanks

We are seeing the same thing! The VFS seems to fill up so quickly, but without actually being used! And setting it to a lower setting seems to work better.

You also mentioned compiling and including CFML. Did you find this way slower on CF11 vs CF9? We're seeing a huge performance hit and slow down in compile times. Were you ever able to move to CF11? Kinda wish we were back on CF9 now...

Any pointers appreciated! Thanks in advance.
