This is from a RHEL4 kernel -- and the upstream 2.6.9 kernel is the same: crash> ipc_id struct ipc_id { struct kern_ipc_perm *p; } SIZE: 8 crash> kern_ipc_perm struct kern_ipc_perm { spinlock_t lock; int deleted; key_t key; uid_t uid; gid_t gid; uid_t cuid; gid_t cgid; mode_t mode; long unsigned int seq; void *security; } SIZE: 56 crash> Dave -- Crash-utility mailing list Crash-utility@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/crash-utility
