Below is from doc/sysctl/kernel.txt document. Is this document valid for IA-64 kernel? It seems you can set this value to pretty much anything (even larger than the available memory), so I'm assuming the value gets intelligently truncated to the max supported. How can I check how much shared mem is available, `free` or `top` just shows what's used, right? ...doc/sysctl/kernel.txt =============================== shmmax: This value can be used to query and set the run time limit on the maximum shared memory segment size that can be created. Shared memory segments up to 1Gb are now supported in the kernel. This value defaults to SHMMAX. =============================== Thanks, ----------------------------------- Donny Cooper NEC Systems, Inc.
