Hi:

Subject: Shared Memory Allocation
Hi,
My application need to set the size of the shared arena to more than 700Mb
I tried to use performer environment variables like this:
export PFNFYLEVEL=7
export PFSHAREDSIZE=800000000
perfly esprit.flt
I've got the following message:
25085 PF Notice(2): level Internal Debug (7) set by environment
variable PFNFYLEVEL
25085 PF Info: PFSHAREDSIZE overriding size to 781250.00
KBytes
25085 PF Info/SysErr(12): pfInitArenas() Could not mmap /dev/zero for
size 0x2faf0800 bytes at 0x0
25085 PF Info/SysErr: pfInitArenas() Could not create shared arena
of 781250.00 KB; adjusting to 390625.00 KB
25085 PF Debug/Resource: pfInitArenas() Allocated 390625KB:
0x42f34000 - 0x5acac400
...
So I thought that I don't have enough memory in the swap space
I tried to use the PFTMPDIR like this:
export PFTMPDIR=/user/tmp2
but I´ve got similar message.
24038 PF Notice(2): level Internal Debug (7) set by environment
variable PFNFYLEVEL
24038 PF Info: PFSHAREDSIZE overriding size to 781250.00
KBytes
24038 PF Info/SysErr(12): pfInitArenas() Could not mmap
/usr/tmp2/pfShmemFile.a005ra for size 0x2faf0800 bytes at 0x0

24038 PF Debug/Resource: pfInitArenas() Allocated 390625KB:
0x42f34000 - 0x5acac400
....
the command 'df -k' give the following results:
Filesystem Type kbytes use avail %use Mounted on

the 'swap -ln' command give the following results:

4 /.swap.virtual 2 0.00k 0.00k 0.00k 11.42g

1 /dev/swap 0 512.00m 512.00m 512.00m 0.00k
Is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks,
Nassouh
