shared memory sticked to 0

[zabhug]

Hi,

vm.memory.size[shared] gives always 0

ipcs -m says
------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status
...
0x00000000 655365 oracle 640 2097152 6
0x00000000 688134 oracle 640 33554432 6
0x00000000 720903 oracle 640 33554432 6
...
0x7a002994 950285 zabbix 666 579856 6

Anyone could explain ? (Client = Zabbix version 1.4 on Linux 2.6.9-55.ELsmp)

Thanks
hug

It is "normal" under linux 2.6.x :>

[bradek]

What do you mean by "normal" for 2.6 kernel? Is it a zabbix bug?

I can't find any docs reffering to this problem, other than this thread.

Thanks for your help!

This link shows that "shared" only works on 2.4 kernel
