The Amanda server is running Solaris, so it doesn't have /proc. But I checked /etc/system and found this: set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=268435456 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100 set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10 set semsys:seminfo_semmns=70 set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100 set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=70 set semsys:seminfo_semopm=100 set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767 forceload: sys/shmsys
If these settings worked before, how come amflush is failing now?
