SubjectLarge shared memory
Date
Hi all,

In the kernel include file include/asm/shmparam.h SHMMAX is set to
16MB (0x1000000) and I was wondering if it would be a bad thing to
set it to 64MB (0x4000000) or 128MB (0x8000000) provided the machine
in question had 64MB+ or 128MB+ memory.

The purpose is I've implemented my own database and it needs to share
large amounts of memory; 64MB may not be enough but it'd be a good
start. The ideal machine for this database would have 128MB+ which
my test machine has and to keep the data off the disk once loaded.

TIA,
Greg

Well, _my_ files were backed up.
