I've been using the 2.2.x series successfully, latest i used
was 2.2.19pre7.
Today i upgraded to 2.4.1-ac9 and noticed that shared memory shows 0.
I searched the list archive briefly and someone said the stats have been
broken since sometime in 2.3, but my system also shows my swap being used
up a great deal (100MB whereas i'm rarely using more than 5MB (and that
only at loaded times, which this isn't))
this server is dedicated for apache web serving, and CONFIG_TMPFS is not
configured in/any shm fs mounted. I didn't have this in 2.2 either.
here's my /proc/meminfo and ipcs info..any help or advice is appreciated.
