Hi, I'm unfamiliar with the term semaphores in regards to my operating system (redhat linux 7.3).
I've googled and can see they are used for controlling concurrent access to memory/resource, but am unfamiliar with how To allocate more, or if it would actually assist my problem. Could you please provide some more information?

Can you configure it to supply some more of them to the kernel? regards, Martin -- MaxDB Discussion Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/maxdb To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MaxDB Discussion Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/maxdb To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
