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. -- Linda A Walsh | Trust Technology, Core Linux, SGI law@sgi.com | Voice: (650) 933-5338 -- Linda A Walsh | Trust Technology, Core Linux, SGI law@sgi.com | Voice: (650) 933-5338 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
