Subject: 2.4.x Shared memory question
Date: Sun, 04 Feb 2001 22:35:50 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3A7E49C6.BE283336@sgi.com> (raw)
Another oddity -- I notice things taking alot more memory
in 2.4. This coincides with 'top' consistently showing I have 0 shared
memory. These two observations would have me wondering if I
have somehow misconfigured my system to disallow sharing. Note
that /proc/meminfo also shows 0 shared memory:
total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached:
Mem: 525897728 465264640 60633088 0 82145280 287862784
Swap: 270909440 0 270909440
MemTotal: 513572 kB
MemFree: 59212 kB
MemShared: 0 kB
Buffers: 80220 kB
Cached: 281116 kB
Active: 22340 kB
Inact_dirty: 338996 kB
Inact_clean: 0 kB
Inact_target: 0 kB
HighTotal: 0 kB
HighFree: 0 kB
LowTotal: 513572 kB
LowFree: 59212 kB
SwapTotal: 264560 kB
SwapFree: 264560 kB
Not that it seems unrelated, but I do have filesystem type shm
mounted on /dev/shm as suggested for POSIX shared memory.
