kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed
The latest version of Opera claims to be faster by taking advantage of "shared X memory" if I set the sysctl kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed. I don't like to change sysctls from their default settings unless I understand the consequences. I've been unable to find a manpage that describes this setting. The description "Enable/Disable attachment to attached segments marked for removal" sounds a bit frightening to me. Would anyone care to comment on the effects and risks of changing this setting on a private desktop machine? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed, what does this variable mean?
Hello, installing vmware. One have to set kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf >From the name, I can deduce that shm_allow_removed means something like "shared memory allow to be removed". Isn't it? But what are the consequences from the use of this variable?
