Hi, We are a group working on distributed shared memory. We are at the start phase and so we do not know much of linux yet!!! We executed a very simple shared memory program using shmget() and we are not able to find out where exactly the shared memory has got allocated..The mount point directory for tmpfs is empty. Also the system usage of tmpfs is '100% free'. We rechecked the mounting of tmpfs and it seems okay!! Can anybody enlighten us about shared memory allocation in linux and usage of tmpfs??
