明明是64位系统下，有16G内存，启动mysqld时指定 innodb_buffer_pool_size 为12G，却报一下错误：

080829 14:15:14  mysqld started
InnoDB: HugeTLB: Warning: Failed to allocate 12884918272 bytes. errno 22
InnoDB HugeTLB: Warning: Using conventional memory pool

是不是很奇怪呢？
根据错误提示的内容，google一下，发现是内核限制的缘故：

[root@yejr mysql]# cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
6000

修改一下内核限制：

[root@yejr mysql]# echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

然后重启mysql，一切正常了。
另外，还需要关注一下配置文件 /etc/security/limits.conf 里的内容。
