Hi, This question involves an out-of-tree patch and a proprietary 3rd party app, so if I'm out of line asking here please flame away :-) I'm running an app in a VServer ( http://linux-vserver.org ) that requires /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax >= 0x4000000. Unfortunately I can't change that inside the guest, it gives this error: bash: /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax: Operation not permitted The value is always set to 02x2000000 in the guest, even when altered in the host. So, I modified line 12 in include/linux/shm.h from this: #define SHMMAX 0x2000000 to #define SHMMAX 0x4000000 and recompiled, rebooted and I get the effect I want. Q: Will this change impact anything else? For example, would it be adviable to alter SHMALL as well? thanks alan -- Alan McKinnon alan at gmail dot com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
