shmmax "permanently" reserved by kernel?
Hi,
Currently on my 2.4.18 kernel, my /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
is set to 33554432 (32MB).
Is that 32MB RAM permanently allocated by the kernel, or
freed back to "general usage" when not needed? The reason
I ask is that I want to increase it to 128MB, to help out
the postgres database application that I run during the day.
However, it doesn't need it at night, when I'd rather use
the RAM for OpenOffice, Evolution & Mozilla.
TIA,
Ron
