Today i upgraded to 2.4.1-ac9 and noticed that shared memory shows 0. I searched the list archive briefly and someone said the stats have been broken since sometime in 2.3, but my system also shows my swap being used up a great deal (100MB whereas i'm rarely using more than 5MB (and that only at loaded times, which this isn't)) this server is dedicated for apache web serving, and CONFIG_TMPFS is not configured in/any shm fs mounted. I didn't have this in 2.2 either. here's my /proc/meminfo and ipcs info..any help or advice is appreciated. total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached: Mem: 327745536 319848448 7897088 0 17149952 199004160 Swap: 133885952 108236800 25649152 MemTotal: 320064 kB MemFree: 7712 kB MemShared: 0 kB Buffers: 16748 kB Cached: 194340 kB Active: 159896 kB Inact_dirty: 48692 kB Inact_clean: 2500 kB Inact_target: 252 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 320064 kB LowFree: 7712 kB SwapTotal: 130748 kB SwapFree: 25048 kB ipcs -lm ------ Shared Memory Limits -------- max number of segments = 4096 max seg size (kbytes) = 32768 max total shared memory (kbytes) = 8388608 min seg size (bytes) = 1 ipcs -m shows many segments used by apache servers. ------ Shared Memory Segments -------- shmid owner perms bytes nattch status 0 young-w 600 46084 3 dest 32769 nobody 600 46084 6 dest -Tony .-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-.
