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.
