Hi all,
I noticed that kernel.shmmax is set to 68719476736 by default on RHEL
5.x
Can someone explain me, why this is done this way?
I'd expect that RHEL does calculate the number of kernel.shmmax
and kernel.shmall during installation depending on the available memory
As from my point of view, this is kind of dangerous to allocate
the theoretical possible limit, since application could try then to use
it!
Or am I overlooking something (maybe a misunderstood the
usage of kernel.shmmax and kernel.shmall wrong)?
Any thoughts/ideas are much appreciated.
Thanks and all the best,
Simon
