Hi.
This may be a stupid question, but I found this strange. In making a small benchmarking utility, I made the following directory structure by mistake: a/a/a/a/a/a/a/a/a/a/.....
By ..... I mean this goes on and on, there were around 18 thousand directories inward like this. A great example of the damage a bug in a recursive program can do ;) Anyway, I've removed it now (btw, rm -rf on this sigsegved :D).
And now for the question. My /proc/meminfo looks like this:
total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached: Mem: 195678208 192753664 2924544 0 116613120 45502464 Swap: 361902080 98807808 263094272 MemTotal: 191092 kB MemFree: 2856 kB MemShared: 0 kB Buffers: 113880 kB Cached: 44436 kB Active: 20256 kB Inact_dirty: 136116 kB Inact_clean: 1944 kB Inact_target: 8 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 191092 kB LowFree: 2856 kB SwapTotal: 353420 kB SwapFree: 256928 kB
As you can see, there is no shared memory here. Is this something I ought to worry about, or is it normal? I've been using the system, and since things were lagging, I looked at 'top', and this just caught my eye. Any reason for worry?
And if you *really* want me to, I can see if I can reproduce this, though I'd rather not. :-)
