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
