This is from my Powerbook

in /etc/rc

sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmax=5120000 kern.sysv.shmmin=1 kern.sysv.shmmni=32 kern.sysv.shmseg=8 kern.sysv.shmall=1024

I also had to up maxprocperuid to 200 to get buildfarm to run

I'm pretty sure shmall had to be increased to allow shmmax to be increased.

yeah, you need to set shmmax and shmall.


Did that. Set shmall first, shmall second, both together in one sysctl
command; no joy anywhere.  Are you trying this on fully up-to-date
Tiger?
