This outlines how to increase the number of shared memory buffers
|
||
|
|
supported by BSD/OS. By default, only 4MB of shared memory is supported
|
||
|
|
by BSDI.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Keep in mind that shared memory is not pageable. It is locked in RAM.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Increase SHMMAXPGS by 1024 for every additional 4MB of shared
|
||
|
|
memory:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/sys/sys/shm.h:69:#define SHMMAXPGS 1024 /* max hardware pages...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The default setting of 1024 is for a maximum of 4MB of shared memory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For those running 4.1 or later, just recompile the kernel and reboot.
|
||
|
|
For those running earlier releases, there are more steps outlined below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use bpatch to find the sysptsize value for the current kernel.
|
||
|
|
This is computed dynamically at bootup.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ bpatch -r sysptsize
|
||
|
|
0x9 = 9
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Next, change SYSPTSIZE to a hard-coded value. Use the bpatch value,
|
||
|
|
plus add 1 for every additional 4MB of shared memory you desire.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/sys/i386/i386/i386_param.c:28:#define SYSPTSIZE 0 /* dynamically...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sysptsize can not be changed by sysctl on the fly.
