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

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.
