Not necessary any more.

Also not necessary, but recommended for POSIX shm. BTW it will not
work with Linus' kernel. Type "shm" is supported by both versions.

Ubfortunately this does not tell what it wanted to do.

ipcs should be your friend. Especially 'ipcs -lm'.

2.4.3-ac2 -- How do I determine if shm is being used?

2001-04-07 Thread Miles Lane

I have mounted:

none on /var/shm type shm (rw)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)

Yet, running "x11perf -shmput10" gives me:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  146 (MIT-SHM)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_ShmPutImage)
  Value in failed request:  0x161
  Serial number of failed request:  35107
  Current serial number in output stream:  35111

I'd like to check to make sure that shm is actually accessible
to my programs.  Is there any easy way to do this?

I have already checked the values of:

/proc/sys/kernel/shmall = 200
/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax = 4096
/proc/sys/kernel/shmmni = 3500

Thanks,
Miles
