Hi all

I'm now building up a new server, Red Hat 5.2 with updates and the new
2.2.2 kernel.

I may have missed it, but do not recall seeing any thing about semaphores
in the "make menuconfig", is it call some thing else? or is it N/A for
Linux? or did I just not see it?

I would like to build a kernel that can handle the future as I want to go
for a year of uptime (had 6months+ twice now.)


Thanks and have a great day

   It is "System V IPC".

Re: [HACKERS] Linux: semaphores: How?
The defaults for RH5.2 (from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sem.h:

#define SEMMNI  128             /* ?  max # of semaphore identifiers
*/
#define SEMMSL  32              /* <= 512 max num of semaphores per
id */
#define SEMMNS  (SEMMNI*SEMMSL) /* ? max # of semaphores in system
*/
#define SEMOPM  32              /* ~ 100 max num of ops per semop
call */
#define SEMVMX  32767           /* semaphore maximum value */

Which means the default max semaphores is 128*32 = 4096, I don't
think you'll have a problem. :)

RE: [HACKERS] Linux: semaphores: How?
I was trying to 'rename' a column
during an inherit.  Since I could not
find a way to do this, I renamed
the column in a view, and then
I inherited from the view.

Anyway, I think being able
to inherit a view is a bug,
besides confusing the 
backend ... *evil grin*
