Re: SHMVIRTSIZE on 64 bits OS

Posted By: ART KAGEL, BLOOMBERG/ 65E 55TH
Date: Tuesday, 30 September 2003, at 8:49 a.m.

Sorry I missed the 64bit part or was just asleep. Just tried my test program
compiled in 64bit mode on Solaris 8 and it allowed me to allocate and attach
about 12.7GB of shared memory which is appoximately the amount of free real
memory on the machine (out of 24GB), there was 22GB free swap at the time.

I don't remember from the original post, is the IDS version an F release or a U
release?
