[GemStone-Smalltalk] Problems starting my stone.

[ian]

Hi Dale,

Thanks.  This seems to be the problem.  I find it odd tho as using the sys
admin guide I set shared mem to 75% of total real mem in the system.conf
file.

The machine I have now (a dell box with 8GB RAM) is running with a single
stone and nothing else (as in only system services and rsync.

The output of ipcs -mp is:

ian at desktop:~$ ipcs

It seems that upon startup of the netldi and the stone all is fine.  As soon
as I try to stop the stone I get the error:

ian at desktop:~$ stopstone

My shared mem as per sysctl.conf is:

ernel.shmmax=6289096704
kernel.shmall=1572274

Is there a setting in the gemstone system.conf file that you know of that
would resole this so a reboot is not necessary (seems clumsy).

Thanks!
