Hello,

FreeBSD O/S 7.2 i386 1CPU AMD

Server memory
RAM memory
	hw.physmem: 1060540416

# sysctl -a | grep shm
   kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed: 0
   kern.ipc.shm_use_phys: 0
   kern.ipc.shmall: 8192
   kern.ipc.shmseg: 128
   kern.ipc.shmmni: 192
   kern.ipc.shmmin: 1
   kern.ipc.shmmax: 33554432

# grep memory /var/run/dmesg.boot
real memory  = 1073676288 (1023 MB)

Total             4657152      104  4657048     0%



program suggested parameters for shared memory

To reset the parameters:
  vi /etc/sysconfigtab    in order to add the lines
      ipc:
          shm-max=2147483647
          sem-mni=128

What is a safe / comfortable shmmax to use?  
Can I increase shmmax on the fly as in Linux or do I have to do reboot?


Thanks!
